Review of 54 (1998) by Meredith W — 05 Oct 2013
"54" tells the story of the world famous New York night club Studio 54 at a time when disco was king. In a plotline similar to that of "Boogie Nights", the story is told through the eyes of Shane O'Shea (Ryan Phillippe), a young man from New Jersey who manages to get onto the guest list and into the very exclusive club and soon manages to secure himself a job at the club as bartender.
A number of plot lines emerge, none of which are adequately explored, however, this is a movie about so much more than narrative. And, while Mike Meyers was lauded for his portrayal of club-owner Steve Rubell, it is the soundtrack that is the real star.
