If you're having mortgage problems I feel bad for you son. I got 99 houses but a ranch ain't one.

andrew garfield is a pussy ass bitch no printer just fax

Ramin Bahrani’s Magic Mike – less dick, more dicking over. blistering moral thriller is rote, but righteously clear-eyed. Bahrani is such an old school Ford-ian moralist that it's hard not to just smile and roll with the narrative conveniences that come along with that. and the cast sure is good.

this is real solid but it's biggest contribution is michael shannon vaping, which might've just single-handedly validated vaping as an actual thing that exists.

A solid companion to THE BIG SHORT – that I wish I had finished before casting a few critics ballots considering how bereft of compelling performances 'best actor' is this year. The burden of every rationalization and soul-sucking, ethically-dubious choice adds about 10 years to Andrew Garfield's slight frame and boyish face.

Wish this was a Spike Lee movie but hey, it could've been a Michael Moore movie.

Michael Shannon is terrific.

Tragic

michael shannon is the realest one in the game.

Spidey broke as fuck that he turned to a life of crime in the form of scamming people out of their homes. It's nothing to write home about, but it's still infinitely better than The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Eu tenho uma relação de extrema desconfiança com este diretor e acho o Andrew Garfield geralmente insuportável, mas tanta gente confiável aprecia este filme que resolvi arriscar - e, apesar do tema oportuno (algo muito parecido periga ocorrer no Brasil), achei o roteiro péssimo. Afinal, ele confunde-se com aquilo que condena. Em sua redenção clicherosa do personagem Dennis, desemboca para uma manipulação sentimentalóide que retira a análise classista do entrecho chocante: segundo a lógica apresentada (e levada a cabo) pelo filme, a posição no embate é que determina as ações dos opressores, não a sua orientação longeva. Ao fingir denunciar a faceta mais desumanizante do Capitalismo especulativo, o filme revela-se tão vendável e oportunista quanto ele. Horroroso! Michael Shannon faz o de sempre (a caricatura de vilão a que acostumou-se) e Laura Dern está apagadíssima. Puro vexame pseudo-sociológico, urgh! (WPC>)

Did not like. The concept is good and I understand how it can show the Catch 22 of folks in this situation but it did not land for me. Shannon’s action was interesting enough but something about Garfield in this just really rubbed me the wrong way throughout. I felt Laura Dern was under-utilised and this just dragged. I can’t help but think of The Florida Project as something portraying something similar but with much better craft.

acting wasn’t bad just i felt the plot and script didn’t help.

living’s a lie

At some point greed will harm the innocent and while most movies dismiss this with an abstract montage of people suffering 99 Homes grants it a central role.

The movie builds its power from the eviction of honest people who find themselves in a problematic financial situation. And although all foreclosures have an emotional impact 99 Homes sadly never stays with the families for long enough to draw on the full potential of the situation.

Instead it focuses on smaller scams and a big project which do not carry the same weight but at least lead to more screen time for Michael Shannon who puts in a great performance as the broker.
The last time he displayed such cold professionalism he was a contract killer in The Iceman. With 99 Homes he proves that he knows more than one way to destroy a life.

A gripping drama but also a case of the script being far better than the direction (that's not to say it's bad, it just lacks any distinct style) so I can only imagine how flat out incredible it could've been in the hands of an auteur like Clint Eastwood or Sean Baker.

Andrew Garfield disappears into his role with the best performance of his career. Michael Shannon is great as well thankfully because his chemistry with Garfield is important to making the movie work. The supporting cast is filled out extremely well which leads to some tense and emotional scenes.

The overly digital look is overbearing at times but not too distracting save a few key scenes where the lighting and color is noticeably harsh.

A decent film that I just wasn’t all that invested in.

I like to think that this is the business Andrew Garfield was doing while Zuckerberg was making Facebook in Silicon Valley

Um emocionante e crítico filme, a performance dos atores (principalmente de Andrew) são o ponto alto desse filme.

Destaque para a cena do despejo que foi tão bem feita que não consegui ficar normal assistindo de tanta agonia que deu.
