Review of The Bling Ring (2013) by Norman B — 24 Sep 2013

In the fame obsessed world of Los Angeles, a group of teenagers take us on a disturbing crime spree in the Hollywood hills. Based on true events, the group who were fixated on the glamorous life tracked their celebrity targets online, and stole more than 3 million in luxury goods from their homes and the gang became known in the media as "The Bling Ring".

The problem with The Bling Ring is that it feels as soulless as its young protagonists there is no character development every character feels dull, and of course there's little sympathy to be found either for the story's rich victims like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan I find it extremely odd that they have so much money, but yet they don't have the time to get a security system installed to monitor their homes while gone.

You will learn very little about the group's motives and yearnings and why they like most people are drunk on the scent of celebrity perfume (very obsessed with their every single move), and why we have allowed it to be a main staple of our culture now a days.
