How to Rob a Bank First Reactions
It’s all content!
David Leitch‘s How to Rob a Bank held a series of press screenings this week and the first reactions to the Amazon MGM Studios comedy heist hit social media on Tuesday night.
Full reviews for How to Rob a Bank drop on Nov. 11, with the film hitting globally theaters on Nov. 13.
A synopsis for the film reads: “A crew of social media-savvy bank robbers broadcasts their daring heists, unaware that their growing viral fame has put them in the crosshairs of a veteran FBI agent and a brilliant software engineer. Despite the unlikely duo closing in, the crime ring pushes past their limits, putting everything on the line for their beliefs — and their most ambitious heist yet.”
James Bond finalist Nicholas Hoult leads a cast that also includes Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Christian Slater, Pete Davidson and John C. Reilly. The film was written by Mark Bianculli.
Touching on the economic anxieties of Gen Z, as well as referencing the “everything is content” culture we live, How to Rob a Bank appears to be a very topical spin on the Robin Hood mythos.
Leitch, the stuntman turned filmmaker behind Bullet Train, Fall Guy, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2 and who also co-directed John Wick, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the themes of his new film. “How to Rob a Bank challenges individuals to change the system. [Our protagonists] are asking you to be proactive in the ways that you can. Go out and vote for what you believe in. We still live in a democracy,” Leitch told THR. “I hope How to Rob a Bank is empowering and inspiring to people.”
