This is a perfectly serviceable movie -- it's a drama, it's well-acted, it's well-written. It's working, generally speaking.

The emancipation Brian Banks depicts becomes narrative chains in its wake.

Hodge's resolute performance anchors the film, while the nuanced screenplay from Doug Atchison and lush visual language from cinematographer Ricardo Diaz push it several rungs above prosaic TV-movie-style fare.

Brian Banks almost never surprises us. We know where the story is going. (If it didn't go a certain way, there would be no movie.) Still, it's a well-constructed, well-acted, solidly told tale.

The true story of a football player falsely accused of sexual assault is lifted by Aldis Hodge in the title role but brought low by a flat, formulaic telling.

[A] well-intentioned film crippled by its dramatic structure.
