Margin Call tells the story of an unnamed
Wall Street investment firm who goes through the massive dumping of toxic assets
to reduce its exposure at the outset of the financial crisis of 2007-2008.
J.C. Chandor wrote the script for this film
and also directed it. Margin Call deals with a very heavy and technical
financial situation, which is not something that everybody will grasp easily, but
Chandor still managed to make the whole thing compelling. It sure helped that
he was supported by a great ensemble cast of talented people. The only actress
that felt out of place for me was Demi Moore: I really did not feel like she
was the right choice. Otherwise, no complaint acting-wise.
Though a little heavy in the technical sense,
Margin Call is still a very good film. It carries a very important message
about those people who prioritize financial considerations over the human ones.
