The rise and fall of Studio 54

Rating: 7/10 (5 February 2005)

Unfortunately, "54" could've been more effective. It's a good movie, but it didn't have any depth. I've always been interested in history, and lately I've been studying the 60's and 70's decades. They are actually very interesting. I have a bit of an interest in Studio 54. I knew there was a movie about it, so I rented, and it didn't really effect me like it should have. I think that's why the rating isn't that good. If you watch "Casino", you have the full effect of the rise and fall of the mob in Las Vegas. Scorcesse understood that, and Mark Christopher didn't seem to have a good grip on it. It was a well made film and the acting was fine. But, it could have been more effective. That's all I'm saying.
