The Banker really ‘racist,’ but good.
Blog King, Mass Appeal
HOLLYWOOD – Are you black and can’t get a loan? If so, you can probably relate to George Nolfi’s recently released drama “The Banker.” Despite garnering a middling score of 68 percent on Rotten Tomatoes’ renowned Tomatometer, the bodacious film still gets a thumbs up for a trio of crackerjack performances by Anthony Mackie (Bernard Garrett), Samuel L. Jackson (Joe Morris) and Nicholas Hoult (Matt Steiner). Based on a true story in the ’60s, “The Banker” illuminates the redline struggles of two negro proprietors — Garrett and Morris — who are relegated to remunerating a working-class white man (Steiner) to be the pretentious countenance of their real estate firm while they pose as a custodian and chauffeur.
Don’t pay the man. Be the man. Go see #TheBanker in theaters now. Coming to the Apple TV app on March 20. pic.twitter.com/TnY4H28Jdw

After marrying whilom club entertainer Eunice (Nia Long) in 1963, Garrett relocated to Los Angeles to concoct the venture. But the banks refused to give his black ass a loan because of skin pigmentation. Determined to launch his métier, Garrett formed a partnership with Morris and the rest is history.
“The Banker” was supposed to premiere last November. But the movie was pulled last minute due to “potentially damaging charges that surfaced from a family member of the Garretts.”
Do you plan to descry the film?

I feel a mass shooting in a public place is going to happen after this comes out. 👱👩🦲👨🏼💼
Hank , Falcon, AND Fury?? okay i gotta see this
Samuel L. Jackson was right Anthony Mackie’s character was a revolutionary without firing a single shot.
I actually had an idea a few years ago to hire a white guy to be the “front man” of my business. Hoping this would open opportunities when negotiating with “Rich White Folks”. It’s sad that I felt the need to do this.
Samuel Jackson: I’m tired of these mothafuckin whites! Owning these mothafuckin banks!
Next is the black ping pong player that broke the color barrier.. then the black shuffle board player.. then the black cricket player.. then the black oyster shucker…
African americans are privledged people. Yall ancestors struggled so yall can be grateful in life and live in prosperity. Stop whining and playing victim games black people. Yall are living in the best country in the world with equal law for all citizens. No excuse. get yall asses to work.
Great actors, great cinematography!

I wanted to see this movie wow, reminds me of the rich bankers when African Americans was on top with their own banks in I believe Kansas in history but, alot of bad things happened and the African Americans lost the financial power… Everybody knows what time it is everything ever deed done shall be revealed especially for African Americans stolen inventions, and ideas that all were created by African Americans shall be revealed why can’t we African Americans get credit for what God Yahweh has given to his chosen peoples respectfully truth I am just saying, why?

I saw the movie today. I liked the business relationship and friendship between Anthony Mackie and Samuel Jackson as men. Plus, I like how the filmmakers illustrated how discrimination in the real estate and banking industries have prevented African Americans from building wealth in this country. Good film!!!
I’m soooo glad.. that apple 🍎 release the movie 🎥.., I love ❤️ it!!!!.. the story of the banker was very important to tell.. and my family enjoyed it… thank you 😊 Apple 🍎.. for telling this story!!!!!
Just watched the movie. No words to describe it. I love every movie that takes part in the 60s in America and this movie gave me hope that Hollywood can still make good golden movies.
The best movie ever…all must see..and understand
Don’t like it… too black for me
