Two Oxford freshmen are recruited into the society of the title, named after an 18th Century libertine, with markedly different reactions to a night of assholish decadence that graduates into ultraviolence. This vicious takedown of Britain’s establishment is ruthless in its depiction of these super-privileged thugs, who will all go on to careers in Westminster, or worse. What’s especially great about The Riot Club, besides a phenomenal cast, is how satisfyingly rousing it is to anyone who hates these psychopathic fuckers as much as they hate you, peasant.
