Hollywood in Toto: 1 out of 5 stars
"How to Rob a Bank” might be the most morally irresponsible mainstream movie in a generation"
Also: "Leitch (“Bullet Train,” “The Fall Guy”) is at his best choreographing slick action beats, and some of the chases here connect as intended"

IGN
"The idea of a modern crime film addressing the hopelessness so many feel about getting a financial foothold is ripe with possibilities, but How to Rob a Bank doesn’t live up to that potential"
Also: "Reilly and Kravitz, and the very different energy they bring, actually make for a rather fun unlikely duo"

Screen Rant
"Though it falls short of becoming one of the greats, this heist thriller is still a breezy, diverting time at the movies"
Also: "Leitch floods the screen with graphics, quick edits, colorful on-screen text, and more, as much of the film is comprised of the videos that the #HTRAB crew posts on YouTube"

"It’s all just real enough to suggest that we have the power to make it realer"
Also: "Leitch leans into the movie’s digital revolution as hard as circumstances allow, and what his film sometimes lacks in detail or precision it strives to compensate for with smiling verve and some bone-crunching action"

The Hollywood Reporter
"But there’s unexpected heart and a finger on the zeitgeist here that at least ensure it’s never dull"
Also: "The use of Radiohead’s haunting anti-corporate anthem “Karma Police” over one heartbreaking scene is a master stroke"

Deadline
"But whenever it’s doing exactly what it says on the tin, it’s a blast"
Also: "When it’s being gaudy, borderline ridiculous and in-your-face, How to Rob a Bank is great fun indeed"
