The mob has a plan. Recruit three renowned bank robbers from different parts of the world and put them into acton robbing banks posing as black men. Deposit an insured diamond worth millions into a banks vault. Steal it back. Collect the insurance. And, sell it in pieces all over the world, tripling their money. But when three down and out plumbers from the hood decide that robbing the same bank would make them Ballers, the mob's plan falls apart. They make their first heist at the same time that the mob is depositing the diamond. Now the mob wants their diamond back and they will stop at nothing to get it. Written by Ken Guertin
First of all, I should say that I am usually not a fan of what is generally known as "urban comedy". I rented Bank Brothers at the suggestion of a friend who knew of this particular film makers work saying that the film might surprise me. With no expectations and a little time to waste, I popped in the DVD and, to say the least, I was indeed surprised. Working with what was obviously a low budget, the film makers managed to produce an absolutely hilarious, well-executed bit of slap-sickish, tongue-in-cheek, gross-out comedy in the vain of Ben Stiller meets the Wayans brothers with a little Cheech and Chong thrown in for good measure. I've suggested the film to several skeptical friends who, after watching it, came to the same conclusion that I did - Bank Brothers is a seriously funny movie that is a testament to what indie film makers with a few bucks, a lotta guts and a wicked sense of humor can get on screen.
If you're ready to laugh and you don't care how, Bank Brothers is a film you just might want to check out.
