Title Drop
 99 Homes / int_18d15922
comment
Title Drop: Notably never done, as the two only ever talk about the 100 homes they're getting for the Santa Fe deal. The title refers to the fact that they're one short due to a clerical error from Carver's team.

Sunshine Noir: It's always sunny in Florida, but it's still an unhappy place of poverty and deprivation.

comment
Meaningful Name: Both the leads. Carver shreds families, homes, communities... everything really. Nash, when backed into a corner bites back hard. Crosses over with Foreshadowing above.

Foreshadowing: Carver shows Dennis the scar of a bite he got from a foreclosed tenant's dog; which hints at what Nash will do to him in the finale.

comment
Sadistic Choice: Dennis gets the choice late in the film between committing fraud and evicting his son's best friend and his family, or losing the Santa Fe deal, his house, and millions of dollars.

Shout-Out

comment
Shout-Out: When calling Dennis just before the end, Carver calls him Donald Trump (which also doubles as Harsher in Hindsight or Hilarious in Hindsight given that this was before Trump's presidency).

Villainous Parental Instinct
 99 Homes / int_e662a850
comment
Villainous Parental Instinct: Despite being an asshole, a criminal, a very sadistic Karma Houdini, and having ruined thousands (if not millions) of lives (as well as cheating on his wife and using the police to serve under him during the eviction scenes), Rick genuinely adores his young daughters.
