They say that money is the root of all evil. But it’s when you’re broke that you think of the most evil things. Desperate men, after all, resort to desperate things. And the truth of this can be seen in Billionaire Boys Club, a film where a gang of cash-strapped kids end up committing murder. It’s a plot so sensational that it would be unbelievable if it weren’t actually a true story.
Directed by James Cox, this film is based on the real life Billionaire Boys Club, a 1980s investment club in Los Angeles specialising in get-rich-quick schemes. Led by best friends Joe Hunt (played by Ansel Elgort) and Dean Karny (Taron Egerton) the club lives the high life, with lavish houses, cars, girls, the works. When things start going wrong, however, Joe and Dean find themselves having to do some terrible things. So it’s a lot like The Wolf Of Wall Street, except the “wolves” in this movie actually do some killing.
