Imagine my reaction when I saw 54.
The movie is stupid and pointless. From start to finish, I'm amazed to see how plotless it is. Having a set of
undeveloped characters doesn't help, either. As many films as I've seen Ryan Phillippe star in, it's impossible to
cure him of bad acting despite his good looks. He literally undoes everything that Marlon Brando had set up.
On the other hand, Mike Myers opts for a detour in his career to take on a drama role by playing Steve Rubell, the owner of
the famous New York City nightclub Studio 54. I must say, what he did is so-so and shows no range. Instead, I'll like to
see a biopic of Steve Rubell. This way, Mike Myers might have thrusted himself to the front of the Oscar race for Best
Actor.
All in all, 54 is akin to looking at a painting with lots of colors, but to take a big step back to see the big picture,
there's no formation of anything.
