Outlaw Scott Scurlock can still seduce audiences and filmmakers years after his death
Spoiler alert: How To Rob A Bank is not going to teach you how to make off with millions from a local financial institution. It is, however, a more compact, marketable title than How This One Dude Robbed A Bunch Of Banks For As Long As He Could, and calculates that the 2007 Nick Stahl comedy heist flick of the same name doesn’t have a particularly rabid fan base to confuse the two in anyone’s mind.
Indeed, for a guy who studied heist movies so well to learn their tricks, he couldn’t take in the biggest cliché of all: That “one last job” is more likely to bite you in the ass than provide a lifetime retirement. The notion of a Robin Hood figure still seems appealing, and certainly would have been to the handful of friends who attest that Scurlock helped out with generous donations.
