How to Rob a Bank

A little bit eccentric. Nick Stahl plays Jinx, a disenchanted consumer fed up with "the surcharge" hitting him from all sides. Down on his luck, frustrated with the system and tired of taking it from The Man, he walks into a bank robbery and finds himself in a position of power. The story is really an unconventional coming of age story where Jinx learns to take charge, demand what needs to be demanded and to be creative in finding solutions instead of just taking what is handed to him. Not entirely novel or groundbreaking, no great acting and over-the-top performances by the supporting case, but a pleasant enough heist film none-the-less.
3-stars
