Gebaseerd op het waargebeurde verhaal van Dave Fishwick, een selfmade miljonair uit het Britse dorpje Burnley. Dave (Rory Kinnear), opgeklommen vanuit de arbeidersklasse, besluit een bank op te richten om lokale bedrijven een kans te geven. In de poging om zijn geliefde gemeenschap te helpen, schakelt hij de hulp in van de jonge Londense advocaat Hugh (Joel Fry). De elitaire financiële instellingen in Londen hebben al meer dan 100 jaar geen nieuwe bankvergunning verleend en zijn vastberaden om Dave tegen te werken. (Pathé)

Recensie (1)
I pondered for quite some time between giving this film two or three stars, and because I'm feeling rather generous today, I settled on the latter. It didn't strike me as exceptional; it was quite undemanding. While I understand and support the arguments against banking corporations, I'm growing weary of the pervasive left-leaning themes. And I'm certainly not a wealthy individual. I couldn't pinpoint the exact location of Burnley in Britain, but it's evidently well-known worldwide given its demographic composition. Personally, I believe I would have enjoyed the film much more if it had focused only on the real events. David Fishwick, in my opinion, is an intriguing figure even without the embellished romance and the triumph of good over evil. The British have a peculiar way of crafting these types of films; they introduce an engaging narrative that draws you in, only to inundate you with unnecessary elements. Perhaps there was an excessive amount of karaoke for my taste, and I found myself genuinely repulsed during the cheering and speech in front of Deaf Leopard. Nonetheless, it was worth watching at least once, and I did get to know an intriguing person. / Lesson learned: If a lawyer spends the night at your place, make sure you conduct a thorough inventory before letting them leave in the morning.
