The Riot Club (2015)

Miles and Alistair are a couple of privileged freshmen at Oxford University. Miles appears to be a fairly decent fellow who has become romantically involved with a working class student called Lauren, while Alistair has delusions of grandeur and several loose screws. Both are invited to join a club devoted to drunkenness and debauchery, and after enduring some juvenile initiation rites, the two novices join some veteran student hedonists for a bacchanalian feast in a country pub's private dining room.The second half of the film observes the tedious antics of these spoiled fascist brats at their interminable blow-out. The aristocratic lowlifes turn out to be no more sophisticated than soccer hooligans as they over-indulge in various intoxicants, insult the pub's staff, get rejected by a prostitute and trash the joint. After Alistair lures Lauren to the gathering, the entitled yahoos insult and assault the girl. Unfortunately, the dramatic effect of this pivotal scene is diluted by the minimal time devoted to Lauren's relationship with Miles, compared to the endless depiction of drunken mayhem. Despite some decent acting, the film misses several opportunities to make a deeper impression as it focuses on the evening's degeneration into an orgy of excess.

These guys are amazing, they are all so good at portraying their characters. I have been watching some of their interviews regarding to this film and they kept on receiving the question "what's the moral lesson of this film" and they all started pointing at each other to who will answer it. I think the moral lesson is that no matter how successful and not so successful you are in life everyone deserves to be respected, don't look at yourself so highly like you are better than anyone else. I kinda hate the fact that they were messing Mugger's restaurant -the one that he was relying on for a living and I was about to cry when he accepted the money Alistair (Sam Claflin) was offering him just so he won't bother kicking them out of his place. I recommend this film not only because it has a good story plot but because the members of the club are all hot and babes.

This is a typical gritty Film Four presentation. A look at the seedier side of society groups and making us look at a side of people that we like to believe doesn't exist really but deep down we know they do. Very gritty , very thought provoking watch this knowing that you will be shocked .A secret Oxford University club where if you have to ask to join you can't be a member who are all from affluent backgrounds and think they are better than anyone beneath their social standing.We see how the club begins from its origins to modern day with the group needing new recruits . We see the process and induction of the new members and quickly realise that they are raucous to the extreme. They are preparing to book the annual meal and have to leave Oxford and end up in a beautiful family orientated gastro pub.As the drink flows and the drugs are consumed the behaviour of the group becomes excessive. A pre arranged prostitute refuses to co-operate which infuriates the members further. A violent assault tests their loyalty to each other and is played out with the involvement of outside parties.

Disgusting, vile, and with no moral code. As a woman I found this a horrendous watch. The subject matter of RAPE can not be justified by any cinematic standards. This director needs to take a few classes with Quentin Tarantio, in order to understand how to get a message across without totally disturbing the audience. Sadistic and uncalled for, belongs in the bin which is exactly where I put it :)Do yourself a favour and don't even bother, and if you have a girlfriend...I suggest this isn't a couples watch unless you want her to be very upset. No more to say other than that the writer should be pure ashamed of themselves and also this should be graded 18!!!
