A good movie if you're interested in banking.

Really enjoyed this one. Great cast and story. Mackie and Jackson light up the screen. Tim Treakle

Fascinating piece of history. Many thanks to all involved for bringing this story to light. Compelling story well acted.

Finally, a well-casted, well-acted movie with excellent writing that hews closely to the historical events that the movie is based on. Excellent production values and directing. Each character is fleshed out well and we are invested with each one and how they will be affected throughout. Excellent expose of a chapter of recent American history that few are aware of, even though many of that era grew up in its shadow.

Lovely pacing to an impactful story. Fantastic performances by Anthony Mackie & Sam L

The premise behind this was great, and had lots of potential. But the writing made this one of the most poorly written movies I've ever seen.

It was decent. I'd recommend.

Decent film, but challenging to relate with. The ups and downs in their journey lack the excitement or tension needed to fully engage the audience in their successes or failures.

Such a great movie. Highly recommend.

I honestly felt very little tension throughout this film which would usually be a problem for me in a film like this (BLM, racism, 20th century period piece), but in this case, I felt fine with it. The movie moved along at a nice pace and kept me interested. The pacing was outstanding and the score added to the film and the pacing positively. The acting performances were all good. Nothing over the top, although Samuel L. Jackson delivered a more subdued performance than normal. Don't get me wrong, he was still Samuel L., but not is "Mother fing" self. The story was worth telling however it is highly fictionalized and they seemed to take the safe route in the telling. Just know that and do research if you want to know more.

I had to concentrate hard on the financial complexities to understand the important banking elements of the plot but, essentially, it's a tale about black repression and white autocracy. One roots for the black characters excellently played by Samuel L Jackson and Anthony Mackie. Their downfall is caused by a careless but enthusiastic amateur, Nichola Hoult, who the black bankers use as a front in order to buy banks in white area. The court room denouement is predictable but there's a nice restorative twist at the very end. Based on historic events, it's a terrible indictment of the housing segregation that pertained in the US until the law changed in the 60s. But the film has enough characterful verve to prevent it being a dull lecture.

A 2+ hour movie I would actually watch in one sitting is rare for me. Los Angeles in the 1950s and 1960s, real estate finance, banking topics, gorgeous properties and general bodaciousness.

Really good biopic with a perfect ending, almost

It's too bad a behind the scenes scandal ruined the Oscar chances of The Banker, because Apple Pictures first major feature was primed for multiple nominations. That's my way of encouraging you to watch The Barber.

Really intriguing biopic. Depicted one of the aspects of how the United States built a system that was meant to prevent minorities, especially African-Americans, from advancing in the social ladder. Film wise, acting was good, cinematography was okay, music was good.

I enjoyed seeing how this came together, though predictable. I did feel a bit short changed with the ending.

事実がすべて反映されているかというとそうではない気がするが、白人「側」、黒人「側」が無難に描けている。 尺が短すぎるのでドラマ化して欲しい。

This is an interesting story. It was frustrating to see the racist attitudes of locals in the area. I liked Nicholas Hoult in his role - he's a good choice to play the white man representing the bank. I can imagine how frustrating it must have been for the people unable to be taken seriously and given real opportunities due to their ethnicity. The plot is fairly intricate and the good cast helps it be quite a watchable and intriguing watch throughout. Samuel L Jackson and Nicholas Hoult give particularly good performances. I felt this was quite a well told story, quite an engrossing and sometimes relatively tense watch, even if it seems a bit dull and too finance heavy in terms of the basic storyline. I'm not great when it comes to following the intricacies of finance and banking but from a social commentary and legal point of view, this story did interest me and I thought it was reasonably well told. Yes, I'd recommend this film and suggest you stick with it if it seems a little dull after a while.

Inspirational American dream drama in the old-fashion property monopoly, it's all about manipulation. Reminds me why so many people are on the streets while some houses are empty with ghosts.

A very well paced story that does an extremely good job of putting the viewer right along side the protagonists. As the film reaches the end, it is sped up to make the viewer feel the same way the protagonists did as the rushing of it all happened in real time.
