Billionaire Boys Club (2018) Reviews

• Great acting, poor writing.

  The entire cast performed exceptionally well, but the poor writing and major plot issues made this film miss the mark. The directing was decent but also need better editing. Still an enjoyable film based on true events, but could have been much better. It's a 7/10 from me

• Nothing special but it is enjoyable

  This is based on a real-life case and was made before as a TV movie in the 80s with Judd Nelson starring. This has higher production values and can boast Kevin Spacey in the cast, although boast may be the wrong word these days. Still whatever else may be said of him he's a great actor and I always enjoy seeing him. Not a bad little movie, I'd recommend it.

• Good movie but very reminiscent of other films

  This movie doesn't take long to kick into gear and has a pretty fast pace. The acting is good and the music is retro pop giving you that late 80's early 90's fun disco vibe. But the movie is based on a true story and that adds to the storylines authenticity but young guys starting a investment firm and getting in over their heads is a story too commonly told. This story does however go further on the tragedy scale then other movies about broker's or investors but when you watch these films that cover this topic it's always like watching a slow train wreck and this feature is no different. I do think this movie has some entertainment value but just a little. I give this film a fair rating which means it's something worth watching but only when you get some free time don't go cancelling any appointments this movie can wait.

• Well....

  From what I remember of the whole incident this is telling the story from a way different perspective. Hunt, in this case, is a sympathetic character which is a complete 180 from what happened in real life. The real Hunt was something of a borderline sociopath and, here, he's portrayed as a socially inept wannabe who gets swept up in events not of his making.

• Enjoyable one-time watch. Also worth it for Spacey.

  Enjoyable one-time watch, for young people especially. It deals with important questions like how far do you bend your ethics to make a dollar? There's also some good sales lessons from Kevin Spacey in this movie, i'll let you find those yourself. And Kevin's attachment to this movie really turned me on to it, he's still a great actor despite any allegations that are going on. Recommended movie for a one-time viewing.
