-----------------------------------

Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly deliver stunning performances as two strangers whose conflicting pursuits of the American Dream lead to a fight for their hopes at any cost.

What begins as a struggle over a rundown bungalow spirals into a clash that propels everyone involved toward a shocking resolution.


Directed by Vadim Perelman

Over all impression: Sad.

This Arabic family immigrated to the U.S., buys a house from an auction. It was a quarter of the market price. Yes, there was a story behind.

A lady was at home in a desperate mood, sleeping in the bed. County officers came in, told her to evacuate from this house in 24 hours because she didn't pay business taxes and didn't respond to the notice letters for a while.

So she did, she had to. It was a mistake, but already time was too late. The Arabic family purchased the house at incredibly low price.

The house was the lady'f father's. He worked so hard to get the house, finally finished paying mortages which took almost thirty years.

The Arabic family also was in a tough life-situation. Father who works for low-wages at construction sites and a gas-station, which he hasn't told his family yet therefore everytime before he gets back from work, he has to change his clothes for a nice business-man suit.

So he couldn't live in a mansion anymore. Therefore he moved into this house with his family, wife who doesn't speak good English, and a son who respects him and getting ready for going to University soon.

It is worth watching, but very depressing at the end.... I should have not watched this movie alone last night. I couldn't do anything after that for a while.... lol
