Basically Boring Cinema


Billionaire Boys Club (2018)

Directed by James Cox this film stars Ansel Elgort, Taron Egerton, Emma Roberts and Kevin Spacey. In 1980s LA young men set up a Ponzi scheme aimed at the kids of rich parents.

Essentially in the same vein as The Wolf of Wallstreet (2013) this is a lower level knock off with the added problem of being Spacey's last film. I found it hard to connect with any of the characters of empathise with their decent into criminal behaviour. Fairly flashy but ultimately lacking in a bit of substance.

2/5
