This was a fine biopic. It kind of pushed the “this is an inspirational story” button a few too many times. Brian Banks does have a really interesting and inspirational story, but all this movie made me want to do is go read an article on what actually happened. This movie…
🌻 lindsay 🌻Mar 27, 2024“Brian, I want to help you. I do. And in a perfect world you and I would just waltz into the court, you tell them what Shayla said and they'd reopen your case. But that is not the world we live in. The system is broken. It's what I'm trying to tell you. It just doesn't…
𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝Aug 9, 2019This was both very depressing and very uplifting. It was depressing to see the travesty that is the American criminal justice system at work. One character in this film says something along the lines of, "it's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty but often it's the…

BRIAN BANKS tells a very important story about our flawed justice system but unfortunately does so with every cliche and expected cinematic trope you could possibly imagine. Aldis Hodge does what he can but this is not the role he’ll be remembered for in 2019.
Matt NegliaAug 8, 2019A powerful story doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll turn into a powerful movie... even if you have some notable names staring in it. Didn’t have a lot to go on to make this into the impact I’m sure they wanted. Very average (if not slightly below) movie for what is a very great…
PaddyFeb 6, 2020The production feels a bit lifetime-y but the story is so damn good and the two leads were excellent ... I wanted to throw my fists up in the air a few times and scream at people in the Tv to so it did it’s job well enough ... Frustrating but inspirational story..

Brian Banks is an exercise in blandly competent movie making. Aldis Hodge is rather good, bringing real depth to a fairly one note character. Greg Kinnear is much the same. All the supporting players are fine too. The movie is cogently filmed, but it can’t but feel bland…
Bernard OzarowskiApr 15, 2020It definitely goes through the motions, but "Brian Banks" is still a powerful, well acted and uplifting drama. Aldis Hodge and Greg Kinnear deliver strong performances and the true story it tells is an effective one.

It’s Hodge’s portrayal of Banks that elevates the film.

From a macro level, Brian Banks should just be a social justice film, but as we peer into the life of Banks himself, you’ll see a deeper and more profound story.

On one level, Brian’s story is meant to be inspirational; the real Banks would ultimately go on to play in the NFL. But it is also a painful reminder of how young black people still face overwhelming disadvantages. The film leaves you wondering: What might have happened if Brian hadn’t been a talented linebacker?
