99 Homes [DVD] [2014]

I bought bluray of "99 Homes" for few reasons: BEST price which is always at BEST BUY, and Best Buy matches prices of competitors always -which they did, and only the BLURAY was only available at Best Buy, and the movie is current and semi-true, as it is due to today's current events and what is occurring in USA today, and listened to part of the commentary which states it is based on fact. I buy mostly true stories and documentaries now, as well as 3D, and any movie worth buying, especially ones that I like and want. BUT BEST BUY IS THE "GO TO" PLACE -AND THE BEST 'buy' PLACE- TO BUY PRODUCTS AND ITEMS , WHICH I BUY ALL MY DVDS AND BLURAYS AND 3D BLURAYS ONLY AT BEST BUY! Everybody should buy at Best Buy. (*only thing is I wish Best Buy would have advertisements every week min the store AND deliver to the house with the Sunday newspaper, which is my Sunday Newsday here on Long Island!) Anyway, buy this movie, And watch, because both the movie and Best Buy are both excellent! Thank you.

99 HOMES is a very interesting movie about the lives of people who lost their homes due to the Mortgage disasters of the past decade. Michael Shannon is perfect as an unempathetic businessman who wants to make as much money as he can and doesn't care who has to suffer for it. Andrew Garfield is one of the unfortunate victims of the Mortgage disaster who ends out working for Shannon in an unexpected twist. The movie is a GREAT drama and kept me wanting to find out what was going to happen. The Blu Ray has Great Video and Audio quality. Blu Ray is Only available at Best Buy for a limited time.

this movie based on the foreclosure crisis in fl during the last recession showed how state laws were extremely flawed including the the few corrupt real estate agents and investors who preyed on judical process where greed and corruption created terrible hardship for thousands of families caught up in a housing bubble sub prime lending abuses if you have been through a foreclosure dont watch this movie it will upset you too much however the movie did depict the real situations going on in fl at that time

This is a very underrated film that had a very limited release in theaters, especially in the US. Budgeted at $8 million and only making $1.9 million in box office, the numbers here doesn't serve any justice. One of the BEST performance by Michael Shannon as well as top notch performance by Andrew Garfield. Movie is inspired by true events, and depicts the world of corruption involving eviction. A very well made film overall and would highly recommend it!

99 Homes is a movie dealing with the aftermath of the 2008 housing crisis. As a result, people who couldn't make mortgage payments or haven't been making mortgage payments were being evicted from their homes. Micheal Shannon, who is the ruthless real estate broker in this movie, delivers a convincing performance. Andrew Garfield, who gets evicted by Michael Shannon's character in the beginning of the movie and eventually works for him, performs well and has great chemistry with Shannon. A well recommended movie but it will make your gears grind.

Michael Shannon delivers another great performance. Andrew garfield is also strong here. The film was sadly underrated, but hopefully will get a new life on home video. Garfield is a construction worker who has his house evicted. Shannon plays the man who evicted him, and before long, has Garfield working for him basically becoming the thing he hated. Solid flick.

99 Homes is a frightening indie movie about the housing crisis in 2010 that disturbed me more than anything I'd seen in the horror movies of today. Shannon and Garfield give painfully believable performances, and the ending is truly haunting. Unfortunately it's such an unpleasant experience that I cannot see myself watching it again.

If you enjoyed Wall Street, 99 Homes follows that model very closely. Michael Shannon makes for a very effective Gordon Gekko type, substituting foreclosures for stocks. The game is still the same. You get seduced by the money and power and sell your soul in the process. Aside from a too neat ending, this is one electrified drama.
