Margin Call (2011)

Writer-Director J.C. Chandor



Watched Margin Call (2011). Have  you been puzzled by how the US stock meltdown of 2008 happen? This movie takes an inside look at a financial firm (Lehman Brothers?) which discovers that it has made extremely risky investments. Perhaps these are  now worthless assets on the company's books. What happens inside the company's power structure? What does it do on the trading floor? How does the market react?  This story unfolds in a very engaging manner.  It has exciting performances by an ensemble cast that includes Kevin Spacey, Demi Moore, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Stan Lee and Simon Baker.  The film does a great job of showing the financial players as real humans with multiple emotions and values and not just as heartless crooks on Wall Street. Any one with an interest in finance and business will like this movie. I gave it 7 out of 10.
