“American Thief” (** out of four) was a preachy and shallow melodrama set in 2016 in which a teen hacker (Xisko Maximo Monroe) seeking revenge for his father’s murder becomes a pawn in a plot to derail the 2016 Presidential election and he has to question his own moral beliefs along with those of many of his friends and family (Khadim Diop, Ben Becher, and others). Film awkwardly mixes in live footage of the elections and from 2016 with actual movie which becomes off-putting after a while; not quite a docudrama, not quite a full movie, so it comes close to being nothing at all by the end.
