Lisa Bonet and Patrick Dempsey in Bank Robber (1993)
Dapper bank robber Billy (Patrick Dempsey) plans one final heist in order to buy a sailboat and sail away with his cheating girlfriend Selina. A misstep involving the security cameras leads to Billy's face being broadcast all over the news, and he retreats to the seedy "Heartbreak Hotel" to wait for the heat to die down. It doesn't take long for his fellow patrons to begin extorting him for their silence. The mounting pressure and discovery of Selina being unfaithful push Billy into the arms of a prostitute named Priscilla, who soon falls for him.

    Could work as a graphic novel
    I didn't know what to make of this movie until the end when I figured out that this could be a nice graphic novel.

    All people that the main character interacts have an over-the-top cynism that turns them into comic book characters. The whole feels like aimed at edgy teenagers. I can frame in my head comic pages in the most typical 90's fashion using most of the scenes. Even the visuals have mostly hard shadows with lots of contrast.

    But that's my wild interpretation. The movie doesn't implies that and feels very offbeat despite being a competent production with well know actors.

    Speaking of 'offbeat', my main motivation to watch this was to check Stewart Copeland's musical score out of sheer curiosity after wathing the drama 'Raining Stones' that he also scored. It's terrible. The main opening has this terrible opera singer over synthetized music that incompetently drives the movie. Dude can't write a compelling melody and it drags down this movie even more.
