Quote:
The Riot Club is a 2014 British drama film directed by Lone Scherfig and written by Laura Wade, based on Wade's 2010 play Posh.[2] The film stars Max Irons, Sam Claflin and Douglas Booth.[3] It is set among the Riot Club, a fictional all-male, exclusive dining club at Oxford University. When the play Posh premiered, the Riot Club was often described as a thinly veiled version of the real-life Bullingdon Club, or High Trees Society, although according to Wade it is entirely fictitious.

**1/2 / ***** (C-)

Another movie about college clubs/fraternity. It's good that it centers on the club itself and the phase of accepting new members, but the problem is that it's poorly paced and predictable. Once they finally get to the dinner scene that's the centerpoint of the movie you can immediately tell how it's going to end but you have to sit through another hour of the movie to get there. It's rich and privileged acting bad and getting away with it. Not a bad movie, bad rather pointless.

It's been a while since I've seen it but I really liked it. Was rather disturbing. I'd give it a B.
