Jonathan K I actually think it's a decently good movie but the last section felt a little unbelievable. First, his mom leaving with his kid seemed over-reactive based on everything they'd shown onscreen leading up to it. At least with respect to the motivations and building of what the characters wanted and cared about. Maybe they should have spent some more time developing Laura Dern's character. And then second, Andrew Garfield's character telling on himself at the eviction at the end... I kind of don't believe that he would do that given everything that led up to it. I could see it bubbling to a boiling point of some kind, but to do something so self-injurious would have to come from such desperation and be of the nothing-left-to-lose variety, and because I didn't really buy the believability that his mom would leave with his kid it made the final climax much less impactful, kind of ruining the movie for me. And then. It just. Ends. Pretty weird. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Audience Member Very well done movie. Great directing, pacing, and great acting by Shannon and Garfield. The only negative is the subject material is depressing Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Logan D During the Great Recession Dennis and his family are evicted from their home by a man called "Boss," Rick Carver. Unexpectedly, Dennis finds himself working for Boss in order to get his home back and make a lot of money in the process but at the price of his own integrity. Stellar performances all around, especially from the two leads. I loved the tension provided by the situation, the wrestling with one's own morality. Bahrani accomplishes a stirring thriller in which everyone is a product of the economy. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Dylan C Great movie with an electric performance from Michael Shannon. The best part about this movie is it gets you thinking what would you do in each scenario. An emotional drama that definitely has slid under the radar. You won't regret watching it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Rochelle L This movie is filled with SO MANY inaccuracies that are presented as fact, I feel i need to warn the viewer. It is important to know that the profiteers from the Financial Crisis were not con artists like this movie's lead, but the Fed and huge hedge fund investors who loaned $20B in subprime mortgages. I'm sure the hedge funds paid to have this movie make to hide their wrongdoings and make it look like it was local sleazy brokers. NOT TRUE!
