BANK ROBBER
Directed by Nick Mead (USA)
There's the germ of a promising comic idea in "Bank Robber," but
it's soon run into the ground, swamped by rampant ineptitude. The
idea is to set up Patrick Dempsey as a bank robber who actually
succeeds in getting away from a bank with a bagful of money. But
from that point on, he's the one who's robbed. It begins with the
bank manager lying about the amount stolen and pocketing the
difference. But Dempsey's real troubles begin when he realizes he's
been photographed by a security camera and holes up in a cheap hotel.
Because his face has been plastered all over TV, it doesn't take long
