House of Sand and Fog could very easily have been much better. Hard to believe that with Ben Kingsley's strong performance, this did not turn out to be an excellent film. House of Sand and Fog did have some powerful scenes but the whole was less than the sum of its parts. The plot became absurd towards the end, which made it hard to take seriously and yet it was still a decent enough film. Recommended for good dramatic acting.
