Saw advance screening in NYC with Q&A with Dir. George Nolfi and Producer/Actor Anthony Mackie. Excellent historical drama about the first 2 African American men real estate moguls in the early 60s. To succeed, they had to use clever means to subvert systemic racist policies of Jim Crow and redlining designed to deny African Americans the wealth accumulation of the American Dream. But how long can they chase that elusive dream before the noose of white supremacy tightens around their necks? Samuel Jackson provides comedic levity, Nia Long holds the moral arc and reminders that while the men play for equity, the women are still left out. Will stream on Apple TV+ and theatrical release in December - go see it!

Engaging tale of two men trying to make money despite the unequal laws back then. It really draws me into the story, and I feel for the characters who faced so much injustice. This film is not just an important film for our time, but a thoroughly entertaining film. Caught off guard by the enjoyably light approach to the matter at hand, the film delivers an amazing message of self-empowerment. Regardless of your race, the film teaches us that we don't need to accept things as they are, but rather to work within the system to change and improve our lives and those around us.

This film is absolutely fabulous. I watched Anthony Mackie in Marvel films only. All these years I call him Falcon goes I did not know his real name but today after watching his performance in The Banker film I realised this guy can perform very well. Sadly what happens than is still happening now!

I wasn't sure if this was going to be any good after all 1) it's about banking and 2) would it be an exercise in woe is me cause I'm black.

I was wrong on both counts - it was fantastic - very entertaining, great acting and Samuel L Jackson didn't say MF once!

Didn't even know this movie existed until 2024 on Apple+ recommendations.

I've got to say I love all told historical stories. While someone complained it didn't go into second marriages and aftermath, I agree with the writers and director that the story loses the point about how unfair 1950s and 6 More
