This film carried the enthusiasm and excitement of Moneyball and Ides of March.
It was a drama focusing on the the Lehman Brothers and real estate meltdown. There are big name actors in this film, and they do a fantastic job as in Moneyball and Ides of March, but the writing and screenplay are quite mediocre and subdued.
If you know noting about what has happened in financial markets in the past decade, then watching this will be like showing the Nuremberg trials to a teenager, good luck appreciating it. Don't expect much to remain in your brain when you leave the theatre, but take from it some quality acting, and a story that has changed this country as we know it.
Margin Call will pull 3 out of 5 Cyclones for mediocrity across the board, but a needed film with meaningful actors.
