The Brooklyn Banker exceeded our expectations, especially with the excellent stand out acting by Garity and Proval.
The director obviously has a good eye for detail as the camera work, lighting, and locations chosen, transported one into a somewhat gritty looking Brooklyn in the 1970's. Hats off, too, to the costume and set directors for being such perfectionists in keeping every detail true to that decade. The realistic casting of the extras and use of locations was also quite effective in bringing that era alive.
The movie was well paced and built up by the good acting and story line which rang true. Refreshingly, it did not overreach.
Quite good genre/indie film with a Scorsese type ending.
