Appropriately lively, bouncy but unfocused rave culture thriller
STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Manchester, 1990. Dylan (Jack O' Connoll) and Matt (Henry Lloyd Hughes)are two scallywags who get by nicking fruit machines from pubs, untilthey spot a marketing opportunity in the shape of the emerging acidhouse/rave culture that is springing up in towns and cities across theUK, with hordes of disenfranchised, disaffected young folk breakinginto abandoned warehouses to get off their faces and dance the nightaway, only for the authorities to clamp down on them. Dylan and Mattpropose the biggest rave yet, and enlist the help of a top DJ to helpsee them over. However, it's not long before drugs arrive on the sceneand the criminal element involved plunge the lads into a new anddangerous world that threatens to destroy everything they've worked tobuild.Ever since it arrived over from Ibiza in the late 80s, rave culture hasplayed it's inimitable part in the music, fashion and style of acertain generation of young people, and what it went to lead on to wasarguably it's greatest achievement. Weekender attempts to be a storybased around this phenomenon and is squarely aimed at the audience thefilm is depicting. At the beginning it starts out as sort of style oversubstance, opening with the start of what promises to be a funky,lively soundtrack featuring just the sort of tunes that made thatperiod in musical history so memorable. The soundtrack remains the best asset of the film, but it's worthsticking with the story, because although it retains it's sense ofbeing frenetic and sort of jumbled and incoherent, it does develop intoa more engaging portrayal of two lads living in a very recent time,caught up in an emerging world with unexpected dangers cropping up init. The manner of the film is in line with it's style, with it's spedup shots and blurry camera moments giving it it's added authenticity.Performances wise, O' Connoll is convincing in another notch to hisresume, while Hughes, best known as the bully in The Inbetweeners, ispretty decent support. Emily Barclay and Zawe Ashton are the chicks ondisplay, and they make their mark on the film.The problem with Karl Golden's film is it sometimes (most disasterouslyat the beginning) gets lost in it's own style and doesn't have anengaging story to follow. But it still comes off as a fairly decentthriller, inspiringly set against the back drop a lot of people youngback then can remember. ***

Long live The Rave
Weekender takes place in the 90's, following the story of a couple ofpetty, small time crooks Dylan and Matt who find a new outlet for theirfun loving schemes, hosting raves.As their success grows boundlessly they are swiftly brought back toreality when they begin to attract a more sinister side of raveculture, that of violence and power/dominance. The movie demonstratesthese discourse extremely well in my opinion. The acting by both of theprotagonists I found to be quite enjoyable, with almost flawlessperformances. The castings' were great in this film with every actorrepresenting and portraying their characters traits very realistically.The Weekender may not have the most extraordinary plot in its twistsand turns, but is with out a doubt a good if not great movie, with asolid stand up plot-line/narrative and cast. This movie for me wasdefinitely a 6/7 out of 10. I urge you to see this movie because youwill not be disappointed. IT'S NOT A BAD FILM!!! (p.s. I don't know howthis film could have such a low rating because it is NOT a bad film andnot a film that should be 3.7 on IMDb)
