Ringe = The Friendly Character

Pros: A rare mix is what you find here, it's a low-income home movie, it's a road movie, it's a very British film, it has an 80's aura and a peculiar thing: a curious dumbbell between David and Clive Owen before becoming "The Clive Owen", simply Ringe is the typical character who is the friend of the protagonist and who accompanies him on his adventures... and nothing else (this is his first film just like David); a film easy to digest. There are good scenes that follow a good rhythm throughout the film to get to the end.

Cons: The most obvious thing you notice in Vroom is that it has many deficiencies and irregularities like having a very linear script, a cheap soundtrack, and almost no complexity, the ending is so spooky (I mean in a bizarre sense), maybe Jake committed suicide! WTF? (the film gives a glimpse of that). If you're a David fan (like me), Clive will give you retro nostalgia. If you're looking for weirdness in the cinema or just try to watch a movie out of laziness....you're welcome! if not avoid it at all costs! Vroom is not solid enough to be to my liking.
