I love this movie so much

Instant Favorite.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

"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.

99 Homes follows a man who, after being evicted from his family home, ends up working with the man who evicted him to gain enough money to buy back his house. Whenever I hear people talk about Andrew Garfield's or Michael Shannon's greatest performances they fail to mention this movie, and it makes me wonder if they never saw it. Both leading actors are absolutely fantastic. These are easily some of these guys' best work. The rest of the acting is good, even from the children, but their roles are thankfully minor. The story itself is an interesting one. It's not often that somewhat mainstream movies about eviction get made, especially not ones about the guys who evict people. That was something I loved about this movie: it focuses on and humanizes these guys. Normally we would perceive people in this line of work as horrible people without compassion, but the reality is that it's a job that somebody has to do, whether you like it or not. It's shown to be a hard job that pays very well, and it makes the audience look at people in emotionally trying jobs like this in a different light. On top of that, the movie itself is very emotionally effective. The characters are people who have lost something dear to them, but it shows how the breadwinner of the family takes steps that he normally wouldn't for things he wouldn't do under normal circumstances. It portrays temptation on his part, something that everyone experiences. It becomes a moral battle for the main character, and I found myself flip-flopping between my own moral standing on the subject. When a movie manages to make the audience think and relate to the characters, I think at that point it has succeeded. If I have but one problem with the movie, it's the ending. Not the ending as a whole, but more the last shot. It wasn't great, and I wish there had been a bit more. Still, it was a pretty good place to end it off, so I can't complain too muchOverall 99 Homes is a really solid movie. The characters and acting are great, the story is engaging, and the subject matter makes the audience think about their own beliefs. In the end I would definitely recommend this movie.

If it was not for the to me disappointing ending I would have give it an eight stars rating. But it deserves at least a seven because the acting of Andrew Garfield and Michael Shannon are really good. The story itself is a drama that many Americans will recognize. Their properties being foreclosed because of to high unpaid credits is the harsh reality a lot of people had to go through. Who's fault is it? It's a bit everybody's fault. The owners because you try to live above your wealth and by buying everything on credit. It's a typical thing from the USA if you ask me. I'm married to an American and every time I go over there I'm amazed by what the people buy on credit all the time. I live in Belgium and I never buy anything on credit. If I can't afford it cash I just don't buy it. The banks because they would give loans to anybody. The real estates, the government, the judges, all have their fault in this crisis. The movie shows the world of greedy people without any morals, the world of one way justice and the whole corrupt system. It's not a joyful movie but it's worth watching. I'm just a bit disappointed by the ending.

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!
