The Bling Ring (2013)

 

Quiet teenager Marc Hall (Israel Broussard) arrives as a new student at Indian Hills High School in Calabasas, California. He is befriended by the fame-obsessed Rebecca Ahn (Katie Chang). While at a party at Rebecca's house, the pair check unlocked vehicles on the street, taking valuables such as cash and credit cards.

When Marc mentions that one of his wealthy acquaintances is out of town, Rebecca suggests they go to his house that night and rob it. Marc is very uncomfortable trespassing, but Rebecca (who seems to have a slight sociopath personality) does not show any nervousness at all. Rebecca steals a handbag, mentioning that her idol, Lindsay Lohan, has the same one. She also takes an amount of cash, and the keys to a Porsche, which the pair use to flee the scene. With the cash, the two go on a shopping spree, affording themselves the luxury lifestyle they admired in magazines.

Another night later, Marc visits a nightclub with Rebecca and her friends Nicki (Emma Watson), her adopted sister Sam (Taissa Farmiga), and Chloe (Claire Julien), where they rub shoulders and mingle with celebrities such as Kirsten Dunst and Paris Hilton. While researching Hilton on the Internet, Marc and Rebecca realize that she will be out of town. Finding the key under the doormat, the pair goes through Hilton's belongings, taking some small items of jewelry. Rebecca then flaunts a stolen bracelet to Nicki, Sam, and Chloe at a party.

 

Emma doesn't like Nicki herself but she loves to play the role of Nicki. It's something different from always being the sweet and good girl. Emma had to take pole dance lessons and watch reality shows to get into her role. Nicki has tattoos, wears uggs and high heels with her pink pyjamas. And she robs from people like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr.

Let's go bad.
