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

rotten:
[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.

fresh:
A simplistic but stirring morality play centered on the pressure point of the savings-and-loan crisis.
