99 Homes (2014)



A recently unemployed single father struggles to get back his foreclosed home by working for the real estate broker who is the source of his frustration.

Good, committed drama exposes the moral twists you need to take to survive in a corrupt system, with Michael Shannon introducing another variety of a villain personality.

Playing For Keeps (2012)



A former sports star who's fallen on hard times starts coaching his son's soccer team as a way to get his life together. His attempts to become an adult are met with challenges from the attractive soccer moms who pursue him at every turn.

Lots of star talent wasted in this minor, mostly uninteresting dramedy about (believe it or not) the marital/parental aches of a has-been football star.

Maltin*1/2: "Innocuous romantic trifle populated by attractive star; easy to take and just as easy to forget."
