Storyline
Revolutionary businessmen Bernard Garrett (Anthony Mackie) and Joe Morris (Samuel L. Jackson) devise an audacious and risky plan to take on the racist establishment of the 1960s by helping other African Americans pursue the American dream. Along with Garrett's wife Eunice (Nia Long), they train a working class white man, Matt Steiner (Nicholas Hoult), to pose as the rich and privileged face of their burgeoning real estate and banking empire - while Garrett and Morris pose as a janitor and a chauffeur. Their success ultimately draws the attention of the federal government, which threatens everything the four have built.

Goofs
Gross annual income is calculated from actual leased units. There is no need to adjust for the vacancy rate. So, the valuation of the property in Bernard's question will be $880,000, not $800,000.

Really enjoyed watching this. A good story very well acted and directed.
The movie had a good pace and never felt rushed or laboured.
If you liked Green Book and Hidden Figures you will enjoy this.
