Review of How to Rob a Bank (2007) by Jason S — 20 Oct 2008

This film had some serious potential. We start out with a sound premise; Young guy fed up with the system and how he is getting sucked dry by it goes in to vent his spleen and gets caught up in something much larger than he could have anticipated.

The storyline stays static all the way through and we are treated to stilted dialogue coupled with poor acting. The set up was good (albeit done in a million different ways before), the concept was good (seen it too though), but the execution was pure pabulum.

I wish they could have really taken a bite here, but instead it falls into the realm of mediocrity within the first 15 minutes. Erika Christensen looks lovely, but if you are watching this for her...go buy a poster.

Avoid this one. As hard as it tries...it tries too hard and comes up empty.
