## Summary

The opinion article criticises the film *How to Rob a Bank*, which opens nationwide on 13 November, for portraying bank robbers as charismatic figures who claim to help the less fortunate. It argues that the film’s message risks presenting political violence as a justified response to problems in banking and other institutions.

The film stars Nicholas Hoult as a gang leader who blames a banking executive, played by Christian Slater, for his child’s death, and includes bank robberies promoted through social media. The author compares its themes with public reactions to Luigi Mangione, who is awaiting trial on charges over the killing of a healthcare executive, and cites other recent entertainment that, in the author’s view, has made light of or celebrated political violence.
