A Couple of Guys With a Dream
“Billionaire Boys Club” is based on the true story of Joe Hunt and Dean Karny, a couple of guys in their twenties who reconnect after high school. They want to make a lot of money fast, and they cook up the idea of the BBC, which is later given the moniker Billionaire Boys Club by a sleazy high roller named Ron Levin (Kevin Spacey). The film overreaches in its attempts to make their sordid story credible.

Joe and Dean had attended an elite prep school in Los Angeles. It was Dean who had formed some associations with rich kids from Beverly Hills. After Dean has reunited with Joe, they decide to approach their old school mates with the opportunity to invest in their new Ponzi scheme.

Much of the film depicted Joe and Dean giving their sales pitches and taking enormous sums of cash from their gullible victims. At the same time, the two hustlers are engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with Ron Levin, who appears to be one of their investors, but is actually playing them for suckers. The filmmakers never made it seem believable that investors would invest with the two youngsters, based on what we see in the film.

Things come to ahead when Joe and Dean have squandered their clients’ funds, broken the law, and then, incredibly, engage in a double homicide to cover their tracks. Throughout the film, the bonding between Joe and Dean appears to be inseparable. Yet, when the moment of truth arises, one of the boys will betray his friend to save his own skin.

Joe and Dean were guided by what they called the “Paradox Philosophy,” which was a fancy way of saying that they wanted to turn “good into bad” and “right into wrong.” They were evidently aware of the pitfalls of their reckless moral philosophy. Yet, in the end, Joe blames it all on “the town…which builds you up to tear you down.”

By the “town,” Joe was referring to the glamorous yet superficial side of Los Angeles that turned two energetic young men into a life of graft, fraud, thievery, lying, and murder. Joe even had a decent role model in his honest and decent father residing in the San Fernando Valley. Joe never followed the advice of his dad, and he now is sitting in the Pleasant Valley State Penitentiary as a lifer.Read More
