[Garfield] the protege is the film's first weak point: his avowed decency - he loves his simple mom and moppety son! - is a flimsy thing, and its quick collapse leaves our hero both pathetic and despicable.
Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader

"Inside Job" could almost be an alternative title for this gripping and timely drama, which makes none of the family's choices look easy.
John Hartl, Seattle Times

A gripping dramatic thriller about the winners and losers in America's game of mortgage roulette.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday

This is a film of palpable anger, a finger on the pulse of modern America crafted by a team of rare ability to awaken outrage.
