Here’s the 99 Homes trailer & poster (which has a ringing endorsements from this very site – our 4* Venice review from last year up here).
The movie is directed by Ramin Bahrani and stars Andrew Garfield, Michael Shannon, Laura Dern and is a damning tale of how corporate society screws the average American and how easy it is to become powerless against the might of the law, the banks and the government.
It hits UK cinemas September 25th.
In this timely thriller, charismatic and ruthless businessman, Rick Carver (Academy 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.
