The Bling Ring

The Bling Ring (2013) starring Katie Chang, Israel Broussard, Emma Watson, Clair Julien, Taissa Farmiga. Based on actual events that happened in 2008-9, this movie tells the story of a small group of Southern California teens who targeted celebrities for burglaries. The film commits the cardinal sin of being repetitive and boring for the first hour, then depressing for the next half-hour. The viewer is really given nothing to care about, as none of these teens has much depth or any distinguishing characteristics at all. It's not a terrible movie, it's just not very good. (Subtitles in English are available, as are closed captions.) Grade: B-
