Description

Filthy. Rich. Spoiled. Rotten. A band of overprivileged rich boys run wild in this savagely funny satire of money, sex and power. In the elite realm of Oxford University, no society is more exclusive than The Riot Club, the ultra-selective fraternity for Britain's most privileged sons. When he's recruited to join, down-to-earth first-year student Miles (Max Irons) is at first amused—but he's about to get a taste of upper-crust entitlement at its ugliest when a hedonistic night of drinking and drugs spins out of control. The Hunger Games' Sam Claflin co-stars in this deliciously dark look at boys behaving badly from the Oscar(R)-nominated director of An Education.

    Rented this movie because many of the actors I have seen In recent films were all together in this. Though captivating and well done I felt it left me hanging. It ended so abruptly. One dinner leads to murder then what? Does the scape goat get away with it? What happens to the good guy? How did the new president of the club come about? What about the weird encounter at the end? Some code word was used. What did it mean. Ugh!!!

  • Only here for the HOT actors!

    Honestly I did like this movie, but I'm not gonna lie. What kept me going was Sam Claflin and hot, rich British guys. If you like that kind of stuff like me this movie is for you. Then ending is really unexpected and takes quite a serious turn, but it's fun to watch. Don't expect a happy ending

  • Itunes' Critics Miss the Satire

    It labels itself a satire—and for some reason—most people seem to miss that point. The script is not written to be a thriller, but a direct statement against its very depiction of riches. Despite the sets being only three/four different rooms, the actors do such a marvelous job of playing their parts that you lose sense of the play unraveling before you. You are constantly left uneasy throughout, as if you were a new Riot member yourself. I would posit that the critic dislike stems from the movie being more of a philosophical tease than most were expecting.

  • Solidly Good Movie

    I am not sure why some of the reviewers gave it low ratings. This is a very solid movie about privilege and class and does not sugar coat it. As I was watching it, I was thinking of people that are not from a privilege class but also rich or even richer than these characters. How would they be judged by the privilege class?

  • Cheap B film

    An emotional journey that lends the viewer to be dazzled by debauchery and then stunned. Witty with a brilliantly talented cast. It makes the viewer not only ask poignant questions about society but about themselves as they take the journey with the characters. Absolutely recommend seeing.

  • Avoid this crap

    Interesting topic, pedigree production, top cast, I expected a quality film and was bitterly disappointed. Crappy TV movie script. Could have be a million times better. Wasted time. Don't make the same mistake and rent/ buy something else.

    Horrible,obvious, and dreadful plot about rich kids behaving badly. We know how bad clubs like this can spiral out of control, so why make a movie that does everything just shy of glorifying violent behavior?

  • Not nice ..but it is VERY accurate..

    I did not like this film ..but having lived in England for many years I can confirm that this is a STUNNINGLY ACCURATE portrayal of David Cameron and explains his disdain for poor people and why he remains utterly guilt free about taking everything from them, such as the British Health Service. More of a documentary than a film, and on that level it succeeds. Watch, learn and thank God you are not poor & living in England.
