It was ok. It has a nice group of actors in it:
With a cast like that it's got to have some potential. It lived up to it in the acting department. The story is a worthy one. It deals with the night before the market crashes in 2008 and the firm's decision to sell everything, knowing what it would do to the market.Summary: This tense Wall Street thriller follows the staff of a high-powered brokerage firm in the 24 hours before the stock market crash of 2008. Featuring an all-star cast, Margin Call was one of the most talked about films of the Sundance Film Festival and was also the Opening Night selection of New Directors/New Films.
It's worth seeing. Maybe wait for Netflix/rental, etc as the movie is a little slow, even if it is well acted. I wish they would have explained what was about to happen a little clearer. I knew but the people not into Wall Street activities viewing the movie probably might not grasp the significance of what is going on.
Budget on this film was only $3.4 M which is pretty damn low considering the actors. It's only in limited release right now with 56 screens:
Opening Weekend: $561,904 (USA) (23 October 2011) (56 Screens)
