Movie - The Banker (2020) [+]

The Banker is an Apple TV+ movie about two African-American men, Bernard Garrett (Anthony Mackie) and Joe Morris (Samuel L Jackson) who built up a real estate empire in Los Angeles, specializing in buying properties adjacent to black neighborhoods then renting to affluent African-Americans. They then decided to buy Garret's hometown bank in Texas and provide loans to the underserved African-American clientele. Unfortunately that ran up against Texan bigotry and eventually both served prison terms...

It's an interesting movie. Moves slowly but did not bore. Mackie is excellent as Garrett.
