Bleh. As other have said, the main problem with The Bring Ring is its lack of substance. It's a glossy, but emotionally flat retelling of the real story. Save yourself some time and skim the Wikipedia article.
MildredFierceI feel it's sort of about lack of substance though.

rossYeah, for sure. But once they'd established that theme, they didn't do anything with it. It's just more burglaries and more drugs, and then they get caught and the movies ends.

MildredFierceEhn, semi-agree. I thought the lack of a redemption arc made it different.

rossI'm glad there wasn't redemption, but I wanted to see at least some commentary. Just something more than a basic recap of events.

rossI think they tried to use the interview segments for that, but they felt tacked on and poorly weaved into the story.

MildredFierceWith you on that last point. I don't see an easy fix for it, but this was definitely light on analysis.
