If you are looking for a movie to provide you with a few hours of entertainment and lightheartedness, this is not it. This film depicts a gut wrenching true story of a young black man who had his future rearranged by a broken system. It very much parallels the issue of racism within the justice system that young black men in America continue to face. I learned a lot about how sexual assault cases are approached in the legal system and how little true justice is involved in comparison to strategy. God bless the work that the California Innocence Project has been doing.

I've been crying.. He is incredible man.. He never gives up

The movie was good. Well acted and well directed. The casting was right on. The actress who played the bad girl was excellent as well as the actress who played her mother. The film moved right along telling a wonderful story in an engaging manner.

"Brian Banks" is tainted with melodrama, a predictable script and no touchdowns. . In this drama based on a true story, a football player is wrongly convicted of a crime and sent to prison, but years later fights to clear his name. . Running nearly 100-minutes but feels way longer; "Brian Banks" is a dedicated true story about a man's fight for the truth, but this film fails to deliver any sense of redemption. I would like to understand why they would cast Aldis Hodge as a twenty-something Banks, when he looks 40. That bothered me the entire movie and I still try to wrap my head around it. A disappointing approach that had some potential.

Tom Shadyac directed an excellent film with a message that needs to be heard. This film is extremely powerful and moving. It's a true story that shines the spotlight on courage, hope, and perseverance that everyone should hear.

What a great movie showing his determination of not giving up!!! Very inspiring movie. All the actors portrait the characters perfectly.

Wonderful to see a true story that matches the person it covers. I have heard Brian Banks speak before and Aldis Hodge captures his spirit and intellect in a beautiful way. He was a victim that does not ask to be seen as a victim. He stands up and fights for himself and others in the same position. Welcome back Tom Shadyac!
