Tom Shadyac's stirring film about a football player falsely accused of rape underscores the importance of speaking truth to power.
2066d ago
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?

Aldis Hodge plays a young man falsely accused of rape in a drama directed by comedy maestro Tom Shadyac.
2066d ago
Brian Banks proceeds non-chronologically, toggling between high school years and Banks’ post-prison life. This helps keep the audience on its toes. But it’s the actors who complicate things most fruitfully.
2066d ago
Man, is it a tricky time to be releasing a movie like “Brian Banks.”
2066d ago
A potent performance from Aldis Hodge elevates this formulaic film about a football player seeking redemption.
2066d ago
Brian Banks knows that it’s an inspirational drama but isn’t quite sure why
2066d ago
True story of a football player falsely accused of sexual assault, told in the #MeToo era, is a nonessential telling of a vital story
2066d ago
Sadly, “Brian Banks” has more in common with standard, white savior narratives like “Million Dollar Arm,” than it does with thought-provoking films about race and privilege like the recently released “Luce” (a film that is flawed, but absolute fire.)
2066d ago
The potential urgency in this saga of an athlete falsely accused of rape is undercut by the shortchanging of its female characters
