Film Review - Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger

BANK OF DAVE 2 c

While it wasn’t a major cinematic achievement, 2023’s “Bank of Dave” managed to deliver the right amount of feel-good filmmaking when dealing with a potentially depressing subject matter. The feature shared the “true(ish)” tale of Dave Fishwick and his battle against the English banking system, laboring to create a place of financial fairness for those struggling to pull themselves out of a hole. There were mild charms, pleasant performances, and plenty of love for the band Def Leppard. Money was clearly made on the picture, as now there’s “Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger,” which revisits this “true(ish)” realm to detail Dave’s fight against the payday loan industry. Writer Piers Ashworth and director Chris Foggin return to duty for a sequel that’s slightly less appealing than the original, getting a little too grabby when inventing drama for the follow-up. While it remains likable enough, “The Loan Ranger” spends too much time away from its core message on monetary dangers, missing the overall educational value of the 2023 release.
