99 homes sit on a street- 99 homes on a street -if one of them haps to foreclose -98 homes before I doze.
Greed and corruption and the American dream should make for an exciting blueprint - like Boiler Room and Margin Call. But once you’ve seen the opening five minutes of this film - there’s nothing to phone home about. As the middle class learns a house is not a home. And the cookie cutter arc of the lead character - a man torn between putting a roof over his family and living with himself makes for a weak foundation to support this ninety minute house of cards.

This movie is about moral and ethical choices we make in life.

A single dad lives with his son and his mom. He is a capable construction worker but cannot make his ends meet, and his family gets evicted from their house. But then his luck changes.
He starts working for the guy who evicted them from their house, keeping it a secret from his family. In a way, he is selling his soul to the devil.
Two leading actors, Andrew Garfield and Michael Shannon, perform exceptionally well. They carry the whole movie.
Unfortunately, the script has so many holes that overall impression is of a mediocrity.

It's not very subtle and it gets very repetitive, but it makes up for it with a fantastic performance by Andrew Garfield and a great, if extremely melodramatic climax.

Michael Shannon is too overtly evil for there to be any nuance (and he keeps talking about handjobs for some reason), but he still gave a very entertaining performance. However, it is Andrew Garfield who carries the whole movie with one of his best performances.
