A father struggles to get back the home that his family was evicted from by working for the greedy real estate broker who's the source of his frustration.
Some plot developments are more convincing than others, but it’s still a compelling drama with an impressive turn from Garfield as well as Shannon and Dern as Garfield’s concerned mother.
Nail-biting, recession-themed drama, with Michael Shannon and Andrew Garfield.
Michael Shannon is lip-smackingly good as a reptilian real-estate broker forcing hard-up homeowners on to the street.
The courts, the cops and the property developers work hand in hand. That is what makes the film seem so chilling and finally so pessimistic.
A compelling and involving drama with Garfield’s decent, average guy imposing, intimidating presence as a conscienceless money grabber.
Shannon steals it, but this is a film with something vital to say.
Andrew Garfield stars in Ramin Bahrani’s gripping drama of greed and foreclosures in post-economic crisis Florida.
