How to Rob a Bank

This film, starring Erika Christensen, Nick Stahl, and Gavin Rossdale, does not put much effort in helping to keep your eyes open. Because it mostly takes places in a bank vault, the scenery and the actors get a bit exhausting and as far as Rossdale’s acting goes, he should stick to his job as a musician.

The start of the movie makes you feel like you have entered a confusing place somewhere in the middle of the story. While you are trying to figure out what is going on for the first 20 minutes or so, your friend sitting next to you may be asleep. (That’s exactly what happened). Soon, the story wraps up what is behind it all and how one boy and one girl got caught in a small room somewhere in a corporate bank. You will also find out, eventually, who is who and where the cell phone calls are coming from.

The most unimpressive point of the film is that there is actually a list of tips on how to rob a bank, one of them being: “Always have a plan.” Creative, right? The boy who got caught up in the mess wishes to directly explain to the audience that he is angry about service fees at the ATM and could not retrieve his 20 bucks. So the entire sequence of the story takes place because this boy has insufficient funds and somehow he knows how to take control and beat the professional robbers at the system. Believable? Not quite.
