- The first How to Rob a Bank trailer has arrived, teasing David Leitch’s latest thriller with a slick, high-energy style.

The first trailer for director David Leitch's new film, How to Rob a Bank, has officially dropped. Once again, this is a movie we learned about back in April at CinemaCon, and I'm pretty sure it is the same or similar to the teaser shown during the Amazon MGM Studios presentation. Like Leitch's films, this trailer is packed with style, promising a blend of social media and social commentary. The irony that Amazon is releasing a movie about sticking it to the man shouldn't be lost on anyone, but there really isn't any way for this movie to get made and released in movie theaters without some level of hypocrisy.

On top of the trailer, we also got two images, so if you were wondering what Nicolas Hoult might have looked like rocking the Batman smugged eye makeup, you're in luck. Leitch's films are very hit-or-miss, but mostly in the way they sometimes fail to come together into a coherent whole. So, How to Rob a Bank is either going to be a great time at the movies or a disjointed hot mess.
