The film is Righteous Thieves, it came out recently.
This is without question the most depressingly woke, dogshit, bottom of the barrel thing I have ever seen in my life. Every choice that was made was wrong, they twisted history completely in order to push "Nazi bad" and literally every single choice made in the film made it worse.
I've never seen anything like it, this is the perfect storm of woke all coming together to humiliate every viewer of this piece of shit.
The director is, of course, a young black guy with almost no experience. The writer is shockingly a white man, but he has NO OTHER writing credits. Nothing. Not a single fucking thing. I'm assuming he is gay and sucked a room full of dicks to get this job because that is the only explanation I can think of.
The cast is, of course, all minority women. In a heist film. There's one Mexican guy who of course fucks everything up and takes orders from the women while humiliating himself at ever chance, and the token 'white guy who is a good guy but treats everyone like shit and is universally disliked only to really show himself as a bad guy at the end but don't worry they all knew he was a bad guy from the start.'
The premise is laughable, they completely twist everything about Nazis stealing Jewish art and create an absurd concept.
Out of all of this dogshit though my personal favorite is the Jewish, Holocaust survivor (who somehow has a bright, brand new professional tattoo of numbers on his arm) picks a BLACK GIRL to get revenge for him.
Not a Jew, not a guy, a random black chick he just happens upon. That's his protege. That's who he makes CEO and runs his company consisting only of angry white men who all hate her for being black.
Of course she chooses an incredibly attractive female hacker who can barely type who also somehow knows Judo enough to kick the shit out of highly trained German operatives at every opportunity.
But wait, it gets worse. The 'lock picker' is a 20 something black girl with big tits and piercings who can't act for shit and somehow knows how to break in to every single lock known to man despite her age.
This is unquestionably the worst major studio funded film I have seen out of tens of thousands across my lifetime. I've seen bad films, tons of them, but never, ever so pitifully pathetic and nauseating as this one.
Lionsgate you are responsible for the worst film ever to be made.

It cannot get worse then this. This is rock bottom for Hollywood. Everyone involved in this film needs to be fired into the sun.
LOL What? You still had faith in the industry?
And why the fuck would you watch something like that? Anyone can tell it's a shit fest from miles away.
I really don't get it, people just HAVE to watch the latest thing. They keep doing this shit, because y'all keep watching it.
Wether it's the latest retarded cape movie made to place Chinese asses on theater seats, a new lazy remake or reboot or sequel, you'll watch it.
There are decades of accumulated cinema history from multiple countries, but midwits can only consoom the most recent Hollywood releases.
Don't be one of those people, broaden your horizons
I seek out bad films regularly, this is not a wide release and has been buried by the studio because I believe it has 0% positive reviews from critics so far.
You'll probably never see this film, but the fact that it was made and financed is a huge, huge problem. Most 'woke' films have redeeming qualities and at least appeal to certain groups, this is the exact opposite.
This is an offensive film to everyone involved, and represents a true low point for film as a whole.
Take it from someone with 'broad horizons' as you say, this is something entirely different from the bad crap you see pushed by Hollywood.
The amount of investment in this is particularly scary.
Who owns all the holllywood film studios again?
reported for racism
I feel like there's some digging to be done into why this thing exists. The production company has six credited movies, of which two exist and four are vaporware. The writer, as you've already said, has made nothing.
My first guess was an activist stakeholder in Lionsgate, but the only prominent holder is Liberty Media, with a 7% stake.
My second was that this exists as penance for Lionsgate being allowed to take over The Weinstein Company. It's possible, but not likely.

Gravitas led the charge and they bought the rights for NA release.
EDIT: Bonus stupidity:
Jesus, Gravitas was involved? I learned pretty fast that anything with their name attached is hot garbage.
Of course it'd be women's idea.
Chasing that audience of absolutely mentally fucked people who will willingly sit through enemy propaganda.
That actually explains a lot since they picked it up for the "Latinx" representation.
Made it totally untouchable by the execs and they had to dump it years later.
My first thought was money laundering, but the production values and actors involved are too legitimate for that. I've seen a few films that were made to launder money and this is far, far too nice for that.
My current theory is that the director was given a blank check and the ability to choose his entire creative team with absolutely no oversight. That is the only explanation that can possibly make sense, because the second someone at the studio saw how things were progressing or read the plot this should have been immediately canned.
I am having a lot of trouble finding out more information about how it got made as well, which is strange.
You know what? I keep thinking that there's heavy money laundering afoot in the film industry as well, I also have a major tinfoil hat over this when it comes to the games industry though I haven't had solid proof yet.
Why do I think this? Bot reviews, at least I've definitely spotted this on steam but I wouldn't be shocked if something was going on in films too, because the fact is none of the normies are buying any of this shit either if you mention any of the stuff we all rant about they probably have no idea it even exists.
So where are they constantly getting the money from to create these failures?
So money laundering in film almost universally involves foreign investors, the largest example is Wolf of Wall Street.
Riza Aziz managed to fund the film with almost completely stolen money, however the money he got back he was able to hide from everyone.
It is a great way to take illegal funds and turn them into your own without causing too many red flags.
That film sounds like a mess dude.
I left out a lot of the egregious plot stuff too. It's worse then I am making it sound.
A lot worse.
I have an alternative theory:
The original script was nothing like the final draft except that it was a heist movie with a twist. The director re-wrote it, but didn't pursue a writing credit.
If it's a success, he can trot out the original treatment and prove he re-wrote it, and claim he didn't want the legal battle involved with writing royalties because he had a film to make.
If it's a failure, the director can play the mercenary, and say he shot the film as it was written.
As for why the author of the original draft didn't remove his name from the production, he doesn't have any prior credits. Now he has a screenwriter's guild card. He got his foot in the door.
If by some strange twist the film was successful, he'd be a good screenwriter, but even a bad screenwriter is better than a barista.
Everybody wins except the people who financed the thing. No conspiracies involved, just people acting in their own (perceived) best interest.
Well ... Lionsgate is a big boy, so it'll most likely weather this bomb.
This isn't new though. Its just Inglorious Basterds round 2 AKA Jew propaganda. It also helps to launder some cash on the side.
I think the purpose of some of these films is to pile on points to the parent company's ESG and CEI score; along with building work experience to inexperienced activists; thus allowing the parent company to make money off of a failing work by improving their credit worthiness among investors.

Man I didn't even see the tagline. That's bad.
"An immoral bargan. An impressive money sink" would have been more accurate judging from your description and analysis.
