Club Life

This is barely a straight to DVD film. low quality in so many ways (1 viewing)

The charm in watching this flick is the ambition in the plot line and Jerry Ferrara's acting.

Outside of that the movie seems to crawl and stall at times. But ... just when you think you can see the obvious ending a big plot twist is unexpectedly tossed up and the movie emerges from the deep it seems to be sinking into and it brings a breath of much needed air!

I'm not going to describe the twist in the story, nor tell the reader when it happens, but it took me by surprise and it ended with me liking this movie. I don't love it but it is worth seeing.

There are a lot of good actors in the story whom I had never heard of, and the production value definitely is not cheap!

Jerry Ferrera's leading man role is in a movie about a limo driver who becomes a thing in the club scene in New York City was perfectly small for the Entourage Costar.

But the movie is too by the numbers to stand out to be anything. It did not have enough style and attitude that it needed to really be something.

All the acting was too on cue. Just no real passion in it.

Club Life had a lot of potential, but it does not hit you, it does not stick with you, it kinda goes away.

Good effort, but falls short.

The Club Life Movie , has an awesome story line but could have been executed a little better . It depicts New York City Night life Promoters, Bottle Girls , Bartenders and Bouncers and of course your Ballers and Broads (excuse the terminology). In all it could have been a little longer. The movie had gaps you could say missing info , missing a certain spark in all the movie was by far not the best movie I saw, but it was interesting a different. Wish they showed more of the other people and answered certain questions and not hide certain things. And it was not a waste of money I had no problem spending 15 dollars to see it, well worth it maybe the next movie this person makes will be a step above and he'll have a definite HIT!

I was sceptical about watching this movie but was pleasantly surprised . I like Joseph Ferrara from Entourage, his slightly shy acting style worked well in this movie.

The problem which may cause many seasoned clubbers turn off, pretty much from the beginning, is the use of what's known as EDM as the club's choice of dance music. For the unaware this is the sort of music they play in venues that teenagers going out for the first time frequent rather than somewhere an established 'scene' would go on a regular basis. Ask anyone who has enjoyed themselves in the 90s and 00s and they will tell you what a poor genre of music EDM represents. A good selection of house music tracks would have set a much more convincing musical backdrop, instead it made me think the film was the brainchild of a public school teen with no clubbing experience rather than a true story of those with genuine influence in the New York club scene.

The fact that it was a true story made me persevere and it was worth it. The story moves forward to show hard work pays off and goes into just enough depth of the main character's struggles to keep your attention whilst keeping the flow.

In short worth a watch although it's a good candidate for a re-score
