The tellers rarely seem like real people; the institutions don\u2019t need the money; the insurance companies take the hit. But even if our sympathies naturally gravitate toward the lawbreakers, seldom has the stick-up guy seemed more sympathetic than the one in director Abi Damaris Corbin\u2019s Sundance-launched feature debut, \u201c892,\u201d based on a recent case in which the crime was really a cry for help.<\/p>\n<p>On July 7, 2017, Brian Brown-Easley walked into a Wells Fargo in Marietta, Ga., and handed the clerk a note that said, \u201cI have a bomb.\u201d But what he meant was \u201cI have a message.\u201d Brown-Easley wasn\u2019t looking to take the bank\u2019s money. He demanded just $892.34 \u2014 the same amount that the Dept. of Veteran Affairs had withheld from his last disability check. But even more importantly, he wanted an audience, causing a scene and taking hostages so that the world might hear his frustration, seemingly directed at the VA but clearly aggravated by the whole broken bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<p>These days, there\u2019s a word for such stunts: Some consider it \u201cprotest,\u201d others \u201cterrorism,\u201d and your enjoyment of \u201c892\u201d may depend on which camp you fall into. Damaris Corbin and co-writer Kwame Kwei-Armah don\u2019t pretend that Brown-Easley wasn\u2019t wrongheaded in his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach. But they also recognize how disenfranchised honorable men can be made to feel by the same system they served. Rash and self-destructive as Brown-Easley\u2019s actions may have been, \u201c892\u201d presents the incident as an act of self-respect \u2014 the desperate stab by an ex-Marine, ex-husband, all-around-exhausted 33-year-old man to preserve some shred of dignity.<\/p>\n<p>In the film, Brian is embodied by John Boyega \u2014 for many still the fresh-faced actor of \u201cStar Wars\u201d and \u201cAttack the Block\u201d fame, although he\u2019s proven himself to be so much more in recent years. Boyega is a serious, politically engaged artist with a capacity to play tough, troubled characters, and \u201c892\u201d marks a potential turning point for him. Boyega disappears behind Brian\u2019s loose hoodie and rimless reading glasses. His body language is broken, his right cheek badly bruised. He fidgets nervously, like a character out of \u201cOne Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest.\u201d Boyega is the most interesting thing about the movie \u2014 specifically, the way he portrays this tragic, psychologically damaged individual fighting for what matters to him \u2014 although it\u2019s also noteworthy for featuring Michael Kenneth Williams\u2019 final performance as the hostage negotiator.<\/p>\n<p>Brian has done his military service; he\u2019s trying to do right by his daughter, Kiah (London Covington). \u201c892\u201d doesn\u2019t belabor his backstory. In the opening scene, we hear him talking to Kiah on the phone. She wants a puppy. She doesn\u2019t realize that he\u2019s down to the last minutes of his pay-as-you-go mobile plan, that he\u2019s living out of a hotel room but effectively homeless. Brian\u2019s mind is already made up, and though he hesitates outside the Wells Fargo the day his life changes forever, the pause is more for dramatic effect than any kind of self-doubt.<\/p>\n<p>From the moment Brian steps inside the bank, it\u2019s clear this isn\u2019t a normal bank robbery. He hardly seems to have a plan; he might not even have a bomb, despite what he says. Brian looks almost apologetic as he asks for a pen and passes his scribbled threat across the counter. (Some may be reminded of the gag from Woody Allen\u2019s \u201cTake the Money and Run\u201d when the teller struggles to decipher the note: \u201cApt natural. I\u2019m pointing a gub at you.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>Brian is described here as the kind of person who wouldn\u2019t hurt a fly, and \u201c892\u201d shows him letting practically everyone exit the building \u2014 all but two managers (Nicole Beharie and Selenis Leyva, both totally believable), whose fear melts into forgiveness as the ordeal drags on. Brian instructs one to call 911, and when the authorities stall instead of connecting him with a negotiator, he rings the local TV network, hoping a producer (Connie Britton) will air his complaint with the VA.<\/p>\n<p>We want to hear what Brian has to say. In most cases, it may be wrong to give criminals a platform to rant, but here, it\u2019s pretty much the point. Williams\u2019 character, Eli, happens to be an ex-Marine as well, and the two share a human connection during their short interaction. We recognize the type: the sympathetic cop (think Harvey Keitel in \u201cThelma &amp; Louise\u201d), when every other authority figure seems to want the perp taken out. Among the carnival of local police, FBI agents, GBI agents and TV reporters that forms around the bank, several snipers take aim \u2014 and indeed, audiences grow familiar with the sight of Boyega\u2019s head in the crosshairs.<\/p>\n<p>Damaris Corbin and DP Doug Emmett shoot \u201c892\u201d like a studio heist movie (Spike Lee\u2019s \u201cInside Man\u201d seems an obvious reference), dialing down the range of colors to blues and blacks, covering the action via moving, restless cameras. This is not an act of documentary reenactment so much as a tense, speculative drama, imagining what this man must have gone through during those hours, and how his actions rippled out to affect others\u2019 lives. According to \u201c892,\u201d Brian knew what his fate would be. (Spoiler alert.) Before entering the bank, he recognized how situations like this end for Black men in America. He chose to make an example of himself. The movie asks us to decide whether he was a martyr or a mental case for taking such a stand.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
