Movie #1490 "Abacus: small enough to jail" --- well, I am trying to see all the documentaries that are nominated for an Oscar this year, and I had seen "Faces/Places" which I raved about in an earlier blog (and long before it was nominated), and I can say this doesn't come near to that one --- it IS an interesting story, but not to last for as long as this film does. It goes way way way too long. I got it after 30 minutes. The rest of the story just seems repetitive. So I would give it a weak 3 and say: you really don't have to see this one, unless the topic below intrigues you.
"ABACUS; SMALL ENOUGH TO JAIL" 2017 NR 1 hour and 30 minutes (60 mins too long)
Abacus: Small Enough to Jail tells the saga of the Chinese immigrant Sung family, owners of Abacus Federal Savings of Chinatown, New York. Accused of mortgage fraud, the indictment and trial forces the Sung family to defend themselves -- and their bank's legacy in the Chinatown community -- over the course of a five-year legal battle
