Hagrid S Sep 2, 2017 A cast full of beautiful bodies doesn't exactly result in an engaging picture. A fictionalized account of the rise and fall of the infamous Studio 54 and those who worked in it, Mark Christopher's filmization is stilted and tries to go epic. Ryan Philippe is our main character, a dimwitted muscular kid who makes it into the ropes and all of a sudden becomes a bar boy. Salma Hayek and Breckin Meyer are two fellow club employees he befriends and falls in love with. Mike Myers is the lecherous Steve Rubell and Neve Campbell is a soap opera star that becomes the object of Philippe's affections. Myers pulls off some great scene chewing with his Rubell portrayal and celebrities like Sela Ward, Mark Ruffalo, and Heather Matarazzo join them for brief but ultimately unforgettable roles. The director's cut added some scenes that further the vision of Christopher without adding much to the integrity of the film itself. See more

Han M Aug 20, 2017 54 conte l'histoire d'une boite de nuit légendaire à New York. Le film de Mark Christopher prend le parti de nous livrer un Saturday Night Fever à la sauce 80s, même si Ryan Phillippe n'est pas John Travolta. Il n'en demeure pas moins que le film nous offre quelques moments fiévreux, grâce à un Mike Myers absolument exceptionnel en patron de la boite, au sortir du premier Austin Powers. Parfois un peu trop long, parfois un peu trop confiant, 54 reste une jolie plongée dans une époque improbable, emplie d'excès et de volupté. Dans le DC, Neve Campbell, réduite à un gros caméo, brille de mille feux tandis que Salma Hayek s'en sort plutôt pas mal. 54 n'est pas sans défauts (trop long) mais parvient à faire partager ce qu'il veut exprimer et ce n'est déjà pas mal. 54 est un Summer of Sam light et c'est un sacré compliment. Christopher gère tellement bien les scènes de fureur qu'il est dur de lui imputer les baisses de rythme inhérentes au genre. See more

Hagrid M May 20, 2017 It is hard to believe that they managed to make a movie about glamour and music (with a great soundtrack) into something so uninteresting and vapid - to the point that ask ourselves why we should care or why these poorly-developed characters would even consider each other friends. (Theatrical version) (2.5/5) Mark Christopher's newly-restored original cut is remarkably different from the 1998 theatrical version, especially with regard to what it wants to say. (Director's Cut, full review on filmotrope. com) (4/5) See more

Albus P Mar 11, 2017 It doesn't do anything to be liked.
