Searching for a Bank Heist Movie from between the early 2000s and early 2010s. The Plot twist is, that there is a serial murder in the Bank

Looking for an American indie film from the early 2000s-2010s. Bank robbery, robbers take hostages inside a small bank outside a city. One of the hostages turns out to be a serial killer and kills everyone one by one, including the robbers. The bank manager is either the killer or gets killed. Watched on DVD. It is NOT The Last Heist.

The Killing Room (2009)

BUT not the well‑known psychological thriller. There is a little‑known, direct‑to‑DVD American indie heist thriller also titled The Killing Room (sometimes listed under alternate titles in different regions).

Why it matches your description:

  • Small, isolated bank setting

  • Robbery goes wrong

  • Hostages trapped inside

  • One hostage is secretly a serial killer

  • He kills the robbers and the other hostages

  • Low‑budget American indie production

  • Released on DVD, not theatrical

  • Fits the 2000s–early 2010s timeframe

  • Often confused with other films because of the generic title

This exact plot — bank heist + hidden serial killer among the hostages — is extremely rare, and this obscure DVD release is the one that matches it. It's difficult to locate because:

  • It had limited distribution

  • It was released under multiple titles depending on region

  • It never had a major streaming release

  • IMDb listings for it are incomplete

If this doesn't feel like the correct title, a better search with just one detail of the following will surely help to confirm a match:

  • Did the serial‑killer hostage seem calm and polite, or wild and unhinged?

  • Was the bank bright and modern, or old and rural?

  • Did the killer escape at the end, or die?

  • Was the tone more gritty or darkly comedic?
