Despite its title, “How to Rob a Bank” is not an instructional video on how to commit crime. Instead, as its co-director Stephen Robert Morse tells PvNew, it’s a documentary about “the consequences of crime.”
The doc, which dropped on Netflix last week, focuses on a prolific ‘90s Seattle bank robber called Scott Scurlock, whom the FBI soon nicknamed Hollywood due to his penchant for elaborate disguises.
Porges (“Class Action Park”) and Morse (a producer on “Amanda Knox”) began working on the film back in 2020 and quickly tracked down many of those involved in the notorious case.
