The Riot Club
The story tells of two people, Miles Richard and Alistair Ryle, who arrive in Oxford to study history. During that trip, things would change completely as the pair quickly seized the 'riot club,' a centuries-old secret society dedicated to eating and drinking immorality. In that place, both friends are doing their bidding, drinking liquor and dizzy dances as Miles and Alistair seem to enjoy their time in that place, but perhaps things will turn out exactly.

If you think the English class system is a thing of the past, this savage indictment the country's privileged will set you straight.

If the movie were solely [the] forty-five or so minute [debaucherous centerpiece of a banquet] it'd be a resounding success.

The Riot Club is, finally, a monster movie. Which I suppose is what some become who are too rich and powerful to be bothered with inhibitions or morality.

Although the performances are uniformly on point and the dialogue is tartly British, the film ultimately fails to earn its riotous stripes.

[A] lack of subtlety throws the film into a spiral of excess that knocks over any chance at intelligent commentary as it plows forward, drunk on its own narrative.

It's a film that seems to have no further point than to remind us that some powerful jerks were once powerful jerk kids. Point taken, but it's not cinematically satisfying.

The Riot Club comes with the dubious ambition of instructing us as to the evil ways of spoiled British toffs, as if that were needed.

Who's up for a little blunt-force social commentary about the haves and have-nots, set in the rarefied clime of Oxford University?
