Looking to take a hard stare at the inequalities present in modern-day America, drama 99 Homes has Andrew Garfield desperately trading in his morality for the sake of his family. Take a look at the first trailer.
99 Homes finds Garfield as Dennis Nash, a construction contractor trying desperately to stay afloat. But when his finances head down the toilet and the bank forecloses on his home, he meets Rick Carver (Michael Shannon), the charming, powerful, greedy, gun-happy real-estate broker who snapped up the place.
Deciding that the only way to provide for his family including son Connor (Noah Lomax) and mother Lynn (Laura Dern), Nash offers to work for Carver, helping him prepare homes for eviction and eventually assist with making families leave. As he worries about the ethics and the danger, he knows that it’s helping his own life.
With Shannon going full Gordon Gekko, this could be a great clash of actors and a timely exploration of a tough subject. With Ramin Bahrani directing, 99 Homes arrives in the US on September 25 and lands in the UK on October 16.
