This film offers up some interesting character studies on the effects of money and social class and how detrimentally they can affect the people around them, due to a sense of deluded authority.

It's kind of a more extreme look on how upper class people can treat middle class etc, exaggerated for thematic effect but with visible similarities. The performances are really good and the subject matter would've been an interesting one to explore, but they don't develop it enough and just more make a film about rich boys being horrible to others due to their wealthy position. It becomes a slightly unlikable watch as you go further into it, but the premise and acting should be noted as its pros. Not a must see but one worth picking up at a reduced price.… Expand

This film is like watching a bunch of Abercrombie and Fitch models sitting around being a goup of prats (look it up as it sort of means douche). This is a movie for the very, very British.

Un film déconcertant qui dénonce d'une part le comportement déliquescent (et délinquant) de **** et gros bourgeois friqués nés avec une cuiller en argent dans la bouche et le cul dans le beurre, mais qui d'autre part offre une certaineUn film déconcertant qui dénonce d'une part le comportement déliquescent (et délinquant) de **** et gros bourgeois friqués nés avec une cuiller en argent dans la bouche et le cul dans le beurre, mais qui d'autre part offre une certaine complaisance à leur égard, complaisance qui énerve un brin la plèbe que nous sommes, irritée de la morgue déployée en grande pompe ici par cette bande de **** connards.

Evidemment, il s'agit d'étudiants -les pires d'entre eux à dire vrai- et en tant que tels, on sait leur prétention et leurs travers, sans compter leur bêtise à faire mourir de honte le collégien de base : le film a le mérite à cet égard de montrer que la racaille reste la racaille, qu'elle soit ruisselante d'argent et de noble ascendance ou qu'elle fasse du rap et/ou brûle des bagnoles. Après un tel dérapage (digne d'un fait divers) de nos si chers génies promis aux plus brillants avenirs, on aurait pu s'attendre à une bien meilleure conclusion que celle qui nous est proposée, escamotée ici. Evidemment, le film se réfugie dans le #padamalgam 50mg (à prendre aux heures des repas) avec l'un des membres de ce "Riot Club" qui n'est en fait qu'un gentil con qui s'est laissé entraîner à l'insu de l'ignorance de son plein gré, Votre Honneur.

Malgré quelques longueurs, malgré en vérité tout ce qu'il soulève plus ou moins maladroitement, le film fait indéniablement réfléchir et réagir, ce qui n'est déjà pas si courant à notre époque : à voir donc mais avec des pincettes et un bon Tranxène pour rester calme.… Expand

The Riot Club is not an excellent movie or spectacular for that matter, but it is well made and its story is well managed, therefore it is more comforting than it would seem at first.

The Riot Club = Angry Privileged Club. The film portrays such realistic behavioral elements, so much so that it is truly unsettling to watch when it escalates.

The film portrays such realistic behavioral elements, so much so that it is truly unsettling to watch when it escalates. The real day modern Oxford may not be this way, but it certainly exists elsewhere. This movie is good as a real life horror film that reminds us of many of the horrific things that are deliberately propagated with and through accumulated wealth, legacy, and white privilege.… Expand
