Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

RoadSideAssistance So guy gets evicted. I'm ALREADY against the guy because a) he couldn't pay off his mortgage, meaning myself has to pay for this guy via my tax dollars and b) he has a kid, which in his financial means he has ZERO business doing.So he lives with his Mom and kid. Whatever. They get evicted, Andrew Garfield's character ends up working for the guy, who is not so straight as he seems. I personally love this. America was founded on a cut throat mentality. Sure this is illegal and not as straight as 'The Founder' but whatever.So the whole thing ends with him selling his old house (that they got evicted from) and buying a new one with a pool, BBall court, and a giant huge area. His Mom starts freaking out about how she wants the original house and the KID SIDES WITH THE F'ING MOM!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Look I and many friends got moved out of our house when we were 8. If I got a stupid pool, BBALL court, and GIANT house overlooking a lake I'd tell my grandmother to F off, and my grandmothers (both of them) weren't stupid enough to whine and B about some stupid trivial house that some dead guy built.Whole film started out interesting, but I literally closed the movie the last 10 minutes and felt I'd been raped. What a pathetic film. 6/10 for the start... -2 out of 10 for the ending, giving this a 2. Save your time.

jdonalds-5 There is no doubt that all of these things happened but doubtful they happened in a single instance. The story takes the worst examples of the family, the courts, the police, and others and assembles them into one case.It is apparent to me that the family was in very poor financial condition before the housing market crashed. They ignored the reality of their situation, held out too long, and complained when all of this stuff "happened to them".Outside of the unreality of the story it was well done.

felix-wyderka "99 Homes" deals with an important topic and situations that could happen to every one of us. It is not not only about evictions and the real estate market but also about the ways those decisions effect the people's lives. Michael Shannon delivers a great performance. He perfectly portrays the heartlessness and the greed that his character has. He acts so well that he makes us hate him again, like he did in many other movies already, which is of course a sign of his outstanding acting skills. Andrew Garfield, here giving his second best performance right after "Hacksaw Ridge", just draws the viewer in and even though his character becomes more ruthless and cunning throughout the movie we never stop rooting for him. The direction is brilliant and really focuses more on the establishing of the movies characters than the story. This lets the viewer get a better inside into the characters' minds and makes the movie more intense and suspenseful. The cinematography also adds a very big part to the suspense of the movie. Some great aerial shots and many close ups show us the faces of so many characters where we can read all the emotions and feelings without needing many words. That is exactly what the movie thrives of and what makes it so unique and special. The score perfectly underlines all the situations and always plays in the right moments. In conclusion we can say that this movie explore a topic that is very important for society and that shows all the dangers of owing a loan to the bank. All the elements go very well together and the topic is portrayed in a very entertaining way.

Howlin Wolf The film was as much about corruption as it was about the ordinary and unfortunate. The problem with the movie is that it took people who knew what they were doing (Nash) and people who were tricked (old guy), and tried to pretend that they're all the same and that they're all victims... They weren't. Some people didn't deserve to lose their homes, but some absolutely did. I think it was trying to show 'all sides' - but if you're going to do that, then you don't turn your realtor into a ruthless villain... It's like it wanted to be realistic, but at the same time take things to an extreme to maximise drama. Pick a lane!Shannon and Garfield are both great to watch, so the theatrics still make for great cinema even as they are sometimes ridiculously unbelievable. It's a good enough film as it is, so it's something poignant when it only makes you wonder how much better a REALISTIC film on the same subject would be!
