House of Sand and Fog (2003)

This movie is about a woman who is down on her luck played by Jennifer Connelly.  Her house is taken from her for missing a bogus business tax payment.  The person who bought the house played by Ben Kingsley wants to sell the house for a huge profit.  The movie grabs your attention from the beginning and never lets go.  You know you are in for a ride.  It was very interesting, you wanted to know what was going to happen.

Spoilers…

Skipping to the end of the movie, you realize this film is about an unnecessary tragedy.  I hated the end of this film, but the ride was so good, meaning the performance by the actors, that you walk away forgiving the ending.  It was a major downer and brought tears to my eyes.  I would highly recommend this film especially to see Ben Kingsley at his very best.
