Weekender (2011) 5/10

Starring : Jack O’Connell, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Emily Barclay
Director : Karl Golden
Running Time : 90 mins

It’s 1990, and flatmates Dylan (O’Connell) and Matt (Lloyd-Hughes) want to cash in on the underground rave scene. They slowly start to ascend through the ranks of party promoters and soon find themselves travelling to Ibiza and Amsterdam to promote nights out, but as their success increases, they find themselves falling into an increasingly murkier world that puts a strain on their friendship as they get blackmailed and threatened from all directions.

There’s a certain type of viewer who might enjoy this, and I guess I’m not amongst them. There’s random drug-taking and nudity which might interest some people, and there is a semblance of progression to the plot, but it was just too glorifying for my liking, and I didn’t like any of the characters.

You’ll like this if you liked : It's All Gone Pete Tong
