From David Leitch, the director of “The Fall Guy,” comes an awkwardly ineffective actioner about a team of revolutionary bank robbers who teach the online masses the tricks of their trade.

Megan Schoenbachler There’s a degree of second-hand embarrassment that comes from watching David Leitch’s Amazon-backed, influencer-age heist movie “How to Rob a Bank.” It’s a film that bids so desperately for cultural relevance, stylistic cool and progressive brownie points that it trips on its own painstaking efforts to astoundingly lame results. What if Deadpool (Leitch directed one of those films, plus “Bullet Train” and “The Fall Guy”) broke the fourth wall to quack at us about his anti-capitalist revolt? Not that popular uprisings are evil, but this aggressively annoying, tonally berserk actioner serves mostly as a reminder that the revolution will not only be televised but digitally packaged and disseminated via the lousiest algorithm.
