The subject matter could have been fascinating if the film weren't underwritten. Williams tries to build an entire movie around just a few key scenes and lots of filler.

Deteriorates into a hot mess of montages, trailer-ready one-liners and thudding drama.

Americons has its heart and justifiably outraged politics in the right place; it just lacks artistry or real insight.

"Americons" is a shady sub-prime loan you should not waste your time and energy on.

3/4

A modern morality play serving as a telling reminder of exactly how easily an American Dream can dissolve into a neverending dystopian nightmare.

Americons is like The Wolf of Wall Street without the skill, depth, nuance, humor, or poignancy.

I managed a mortgage bank who specialized in "Stated Income" Option Arm loans that unfortunately closed in 2007. This movie was so accurate to what I saw and experienced it was frightening. Kudos to Beau Williams for the courage to share his story.
