Summary
- Masked robbers livestream daring heists on social media.
- John C. Reilly plays an FBI agent tracking the criminals.
- The film is set for a September 4 release date.
A new action-thriller features masked bank robbers who livestream their daring heists across social media platforms. Star Pete Davidson described the film's premise as a crew carrying out heists and streaming them live, admitting it's likely a bad idea for avoiding capture.
The film is characterized as a socially conscious thriller, with the robbers depicted as modern-day Robin Hoods opposing a rigged system. Their criminal activities are pursued by an FBI agent, played by John C. Reilly, and a hacker, portrayed by Zoë Kravitz.
Footage revealed that the robbers are aware of their high success rate, with one character encouraging, "Let's make some content!" The FBI agent, determined to stop them, states, "15 banks, 61 felonies, 30 million unique viewers." The trailer suggests a personal motive behind a planned heist, as the robbers target a bank because, "Your bank killed my son."
Penned by Mark Bianculli, the script also features Anna Sawai and Rhenzy Feliz. Kelly McCormick, David Leitch, Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody, and Allan Mandelbaum are among the producers. The film is slated for release on September 4, coinciding with the Labor Day weekend.
