Attention all Netflix viewers! The highly anticipated sequel to the heartwarming film, "Bank of Dave", has finally been added to the streaming platform. This film, which was praised by fans as an uplifting underdog tale, follows the real-life experiences of Dave Fishwick, a self-made millionaire from Burnley. Starring Rory Kinnear as the title character, it tells the story of Dave's journey to establish a community bank in his town to support local businesses.
But it was not an easy feat for Dave. He faced formidable opponents in the form of London's elite financial institutions and had to compete for the first banking license in over 150 years. Despite the challenges, the original film received an impressive 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with fans calling it a superbly cast, feel-good movie. One viewer even described it as an inspirational true-ish story.
Now, in the sequel, "Bank of Dave 2: The Lone Ranger", Dave takes on the predatory payday lenders who are causing misery in his town. Set two years after the first film, it follows the collaboration between an American investigative reporter, Jessica, and a local Citizen's Advice counselor, Oliver, as they team up with Dave to bring down these unscrupulous corporations. The villainous payday lender, Carlo Mancini, is played by Rob Delaney, adding an extra layer of excitement to the film.
And the reviews are already pouring in! Cecilia from X shared that the sequel was fabulous. It's no surprise that the first film was a global success, with Dave revealing on BBC Breakfast that it was Netflix's fastest commissioned sequel and their most successful British independent film of all time. He also emphasized that it was a real feel-good story with a true purpose.
But let's not forget the real-life impact that Dave's bank has had on his community. After becoming a self-made millionaire with Britain's biggest minibus supplier, Dave opened Burnley Savings and Loans in 2011 when he realized that big banks were no longer willing to lend money to his customers after the 2007-2008 financial crisis. Since then, his bank has loaned over £27m to thousands of people and businesses, and all profits are donated to charity.
So, if you're in the mood for an inspiring and heartwarming film, be sure to check out "Bank of Dave 2: The Lone Ranger" now streaming on Netflix.
