Slumdog Millionaire meets Up in the Air in this multi-viewpoint look at the foreclosure world. When Dennis (Andrew Garfield) is foreclosed on and forcibly evicted from his home along with his mother and son, he make a deal with "the devil" Rick Carver (Michael Shannon) to go work for him foreclosing on other people and generally milking the system. The final job is a 100 house deal and the ethical quandry that the Tourtured Young Man must make for one home leaves... 99 Homes.
Some good and some bad things: the lack of a mother/woman perspective was pretty ridiculous to have Laura Dern be his mother. She plays a very weak character. Of course the cute son was a prop. Good cinematography with the Orlando suburbs landscape. Good not great.
