Review of Brian Banks (2019) by Lamontraymond — 09 Aug 2019
What a fantastic story! (A shame that the critics put it in the "mixed reviews" territory). Aldis Hodge is fantastic (love him on City on a Hill), and it's great to see Great Kinnear back on the big screen.
About a third of the way through (no spoilers), I was really pissed that the person responsible for putting Brian behind bars wasn't getting enough blame in the story. It was truly an evil act that almost ruined Brian's life.
And it was just that easy to do. But by the end of the film, once you've gotten to know Brian's mentor (played by Morgan Freeman), you begin to accept things, and you realize that "how you react to life" is all you can control.
The movie received a warm round of applause in my theater - including from me - and it's something that most Americans should see. Hope to see that happen.
