"Some dreams can't be shared."

Massoud Amir Behrani (Ben Kingsley) fled Iran with his family and came to the US to start a new life. Although he pretends to be a well-to-do man, he struggles to make ends meet. When he can unexpectedly buy a beautiful house for little money, he finally sees a chance to offer his family a better future. However, the sale becomes the biggest mistake of his life. The previous owner of the house Kathy Lazaro (Jennifer Connelly) has been wrongfully expropriated by the government because of an alleged tax debt. She has a history of alcohol and drugs and has just got her life back on track. The loss of her home means the end of her hopes for a stable life. She is determined to fight to get her home back at any cost.

A good all-to-the-flood drama that relies mainly on the ending. The rest of the film is okay but the ending just takes it to a higher level. I'm not a big fan of Kingsley but he does a pretty good job and Connelly does a great job too. I had fun with it!

Overdramatized, contrivedly written and quite unbelievable. There is little sincerity about this film. The last half hour with the suicide attempts, the cop's plan and the murder of Behrani's son are the last straw. Connelly is beautiful again, makes up for something. All quite wrong.
