Plot summary

The story of Santo Bastucci, a local banker with a rare gift for memorizing numbers; he is unwittingly cast into the forefront of an aging wiseguy's bid for power, Manny "The Hand" Mistera. Santo is caught between the loyalty he has for his cagey father-in-law, Benny, his childhood friend, Basta, and his streetwise uncle, Matteo, the pastor of their Brooklyn church.

Set in the 70's in the Italian-American part

Set in the 70's in the Italian-American part of Williamsburg, Brooklyn (other side is Polish-American and it was a crap hole in the 80's early 90's and now so gentrified the prices equal Manhattan's). Santo a honest rising star of a bank get's dragged into making a deal with the local mob boss by his father-in-law; Paul Sorvino. He has to wash $60k in cashier checks. He is plagued by the death of his father whom died when he was 2 and he cared for by his Catholic Priest uncle. A typical local guy who hangs with his congregants and plays Morro with them (an ancient Greek/Roman hand game throw fingers down and yell out the number you think is out and if you get it you get a point) Also involved is the Secret Service (under Lincoln they were set up to stop counterfeiters so they do that, money laundering, wire fraud and President Protection) and he knows he is going to take down people but he like's Santo and doesn't want him as collateral damage in his investigation of his bank. His wife wants to go out to Long Island to live. In the end Santo moves his family to get out of the neighborhood.

Amataeur in every sense. Dreadful and cliche lighting

Amataeur in every sense. Dreadful and cliche lighting, stories (plural), characters, cinematography, dialog, and especially acting make this movie an unbearable 2-hours I'll never get back. The worst Scorsese imitation I've ever seen. You know a movie's shit when the only positive reviews come from Brooklyn residents. 1/10

First off, I saw this movie in a

First off, I saw this movie in a great little theater in Manhattan called Cinema Village. Great place to see a movie. Brooklyn Banker was so much better than any Indy film I've seen. To be honest, I saw it 3 times in one week. Troy Garity was outstanding and the movie was not only written smoothly, but directed wonderfully. Trust me, you have to give this movie a chance. If you like mob movies, but are looking for one for one with an authentic Brooklyn feel and a storyline that has not been done yet, then this is the movie for you. Plus, its not full if pointless violence for the sake of just having violence, every single action has a reason for happening. All three times I left the theater satisfied. And if you catch it at Cinema Village, you get a great deal on the ticket price. For the budget this film had, to me, it came off like a feature film.
