PLOT- Set in the high-stakes world of the financial industry, Margin Call is an entangling thriller involving the key players at an investment firm during one perilous 24-hour period in the early stages of the 2008 financial crisis. When an entry-level analyst unlocks information that could prove to be the downfall of the firm, a roller-coaster ride ensues as decisions both financial and moral catapult the lives of all involved to the brink of disaster.
If you want to witness an acting clinic put on by an incredibly talented ensemble cast, look no further,J.C. Chandor's take on the beginnings of the 2008 financial crisis.Its one of those brilliantly acted movie that you wouldn't want to miss . It's makes an impressive debut with a theatrically bound drama about the 2008 collapse of a big financial firm that follows a trajectory similar to Bear Stearns' meltdown—an event that signaled America’s second Depression.The ensemble cast is as good as it gets,they are uniformly splendid, offering considerable roles with cleanly defined personalities. Screen time for some is limited, but every face makes an impact, especially Tucci as the dejected numbers wizard fired before the pandemonium
It’s not a solid picture, but “Margin Call” successfully seizes a mood of dread, perpetrated by our old friends: greed, power, and self-preservation.A must watch for everyone .
On the Movie scale of 1 to 10, “Margin Call” is an intriguing 9 . It sees its characters not as villains but, simply, as business people - with all that means.
