If you like 70s music than this is the film for you. Other than those BeeGees
classics that were in Saturday Night Fever you'll hear just about every popular
song going during the era. The producers must have spent a fortune getting
the rights for the soundtracks.
The plot is something like St.Elmo's Fire and set about 10 years earlier than the release in 1998. Some affluent 20 somethings two women, Chloe Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale are headed for a night on the town. They get involved with four guys at one point or another Chris Eigerman, Matt Keeslar, Mackenzie Astin, and Robert Sean Leonard. All them newly minted adults who haven't quite figured it out yet.
Eigerman's character was interesting. He's a general all around fixer/handyman at the club whose job is in danger because the right kind who might not fit into the elite it caters to keep getting in. He's really rather clueless but lovable in a strange way.
David Thornton who is a semi-regular on Law And Order, SVU as a sleazy defense attorney plays the equally sleazy club owner. He's got his hands in all kinds of illegality and Eigerman is the cause of his downfall when he shows Matt Keeslar what Thornton is up to. Keeslar has the job to make it stick and unwittingly brings about the end of this Studio 54 type club.
I did kind of like the ending. You could almost that Irving Berlin song from another era, The Song Is Ended, but the melody lingers on in that surreal finale on a subway.
For you aging hustle dancers The Last Days Of Disco is for you.
