De eetclub (The Dining Club) is a Dutch film based on a Dutch book by Saskia Noort. In fact, the same criticism applies to the film as to the book: it is a "thriller" made for an audience that otherwise would not like Scary, Suspenseful stories.
The plot can be summarized nicely: wealthy married women with a lot of free time together form an elite club, which revolves around taking turns preparing haute cuisine and playing hostess. There is something going on with their very rich men and when there are victims a little later, it turns out that the good friends from the dining club also have secrets from each other. Think of a kind of Housewifes of Beverly Hills with a murder mystery mixed in.
Not everything is bad: the beautiful ladies are believably portrayed as rich housewives and are also beautiful (or should I say expensive) enough for their role. It is true that the dialogue during the first half of the film does not seem to be about anything, except that it is very quiet and boring in the expensive residential area. But isn't that what all the rich housewives are talking about?
The murder mystery is the biggest weakness: not a bad idea, but the execution is weak, there are holes in the story and it never gets scary...
I give this movie 6/10 because it's not really made for fans of real thrillers. This is a 'murder in a housewife' s tale' film, for fans of films and series about rich housewives, who want a mystery as an excuse to marvel at the expensive houses, clothes and eating habits of rich people. Just like the book, it is not a real thriller, but that doesn't make it bad either. Worth a view if you are into this sort of light caliber thrillers.
