A powerful look into the 99% against the 1% in the heart of America. This looks to be a game changer for Andrew Garfield, a movie for him to shed his webbing from the Spider-Man universe and head into the a league of dramatic actors. I expect to see 99 Homes as a high contender in the awards ceremonies later in the year.
Here’s the official synopsis
In this timely thriller, charismatic and ruthless businessman, Rick Carver (Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon), is making a killing by repossessing homes – gaming the real estate market, Wall Street banks and the US government. When he evicts Dennis Nash (Golden Globe nominee Andrew Garfield), a single father trying to care for his mother (Academy Award nominee Laura Dern) and young son (newcomer Noah Lomax), Nash becomes so desperate to provide for his family that he goes to work for Carver – the very man who evicted him in the first place. Carver promises Nash a way to regain his home and earn security for his family, but slyly seduces him into a lifestyle of wealth and glamour. It is a deal-with-the-devil that comes with an increasingly high cost – on Carver’s orders, Nash must evict families from their homes. As Nash falls deeper into Carver’s web, he finds his situation grows more brutal and dangerous than he ever imagined.
99 Homes opens in Australia on the 19th of November.
