House of Sand and Fog (2003): Movie Review

                                                    

         Jim Pagiamtzis review
                 Terrific performances Kathy Nicolo ( Jennifer Connelly) and Massoud Amir Behrani (Ben Kingsley) in this dramatic saga over rightful owner of a house. Dramatic scenes and stellar musical scores throughout the film lead to climatic ending that will have you enthralled in the consequences.
