| 54 focuses around the character of Shane O'Shea, played by Ryan Phillippe,
and how his life takes a dramatic turn after he becomes an employee of New
York's infamous nightclub, Studio 54, during the 1970's. The fictitious
story of the Phillippe character...more |

| /54/ is an incredibly shallow movie about incredibly shallow
characters. /54/ is about Studio 54, a famous disco in New York City
that, in its height, was the place to be for all famous and
good-looking people to indulge in such depravity like...more |

| The people who populate the movie 54 are shallow, self-absorbed and
self-indulgent. In other words, they perfectly mirror the era as well as
the movie this feature depicts. more |

| Based on the true story of a New York nightclub, "54" strives for the
essence of all things cool - sex, drugs and disco. It's got plenty of
all three and a number of rich stories trying desperately to get out
and be seen amidst all the '70s...more |

| You know the old phrase, "When the transmission goes, the whole car goes"?
Well, replace "transmission" with "script and editing" and replace "car"
with "movie" and you get an idea of what is so wrong with 54. more |

| Studio 54 looks like a really crazy place, from what I have seen in a ton of
documentaries on 54, on such "informative" channels like VH1 and E!. These
programs depict lots of sex and extreme amounts of drug use, it doesn’t
appear to be dull. Then why...more |

| The 70s are a hot era in Hollywood right now. 54 is the latest film to
jump on the retro train. This time, the infamously exclusive disco,
Studio 54, is the backdrop for yet another drama detailing the
soullessness of the disco age. more |

| It's always disappointing to realise, halfway through a movie,
that you have no idea what it's about. On the surface, "54" seems to be
straightforward enough: it tells the story of a legendary '70s Manhattan

| The late 70's and early 80s was a period of decadence. Also, the end of
innocence as we now know it. It was our last dance, our chance to be wild,
crazy, uninhibited, before the specter of AIDS unknowingly came down upon us.
