Around the world everyone knows that honest hard work gets you nowhere. In sunny Orlando, Florida, construction worker Dennis Nash learns this the hard way when he is evicted from his home by a charismatic, gun-toting real-estate broker, Rick Carver. Humiliated and homeless, Nash has no choice but to move his mom and nine-year old son into a shabby, dangerous motel. All is lost. Until an unexpected opportunity arises for Nash to strike a deal with the devil - he begins working for Carver in a desperate attempt to get his home back. Carver seduces Nash into a risky world of scamming and stealing from the banks and the government; he teaches Nash how the rich get richer. Living a double life, Nash hides his new boss and job from his family. He rises fast and makes real money; he dreams bigger. But there is a cost. On Carver's orders, Nash must evict honest families from their homes - just as it happened to him. Nash's conscience starts tearing him apart... but his son needs a home. In a dramatic high stakes climax, with a 1,000 home deal on the line, Nash will have to choose between destroying an honest man for the ultimate win or risking it all by going against Carver and finding redemption.
Leave your thoughts about 99 Homes.
| Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)Pamela PowellIt's a film worth seeing just for the story, but with the superb performances, it makes a film you need to see. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe movie works as a twinned character study, a moral suspense thriller, and an indictment of an America stacked against its working classes. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve Persall99 Homes combines the insight of documentary filmmaking with a thriller's urgency, opening our eyes to a complex, real-life tragedy while keeping it entertaining. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperA provocative, visceral, sometimes heartbreakingly relevant drama/thriller. |
| Christianity TodayAlissa Wilkinson99 Homes is very good at showing that the housing crisis is not a problem that belongs to one person. |
| Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyAn urgent work, the burning anger of which will viscerally connect with many viewers, who will recognize themselves or people they know up on the screen. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferElectrifying, provocative and profoundly moving. Andrew Garfield and Michael Shannon give Oscar-caliber performances. |
| New York Magazine/VultureDavid EdelsteinBahrani’s casting of Dern is genius. She’s such a profoundly unaffected actress that you instantly buy her aversion to her son’s lucre. She has a moral and aesthetic problem with that tacky mansion on the waterway. She wouldn’t fit in there. |
| Chicago Daily HeraldDann GireBahrani directs 99 Homes with outrage and a sense of urgency. |
| The Young FolksAllyson Johnson...a compassionate film and an honest one, proving that all involved are still at the top of their games. |
