Margin Call
Directed by J.C. Chandor
Written by J.C. Chandor
2011, USA
It’s taken a while – almost four years by my calendar – but eventually the dire progenitors of the age of austerity seem to have finally percolated into the emissions of the dream factory. Whilst the likes of The Company Men, Up In The Air and even Horrible Bosses offer obtuse takes on the slow disintegration of the current financial ideology, zeroing in the individual symptoms rather than the brooding cancer at the core, after the Oscar success of Inside Job the path seems clear for a fictional tale on the 2008 commercial devastation foisted on the world by the 1% and their ambitious acolytes. I’ve always found this cabalistic world immensely fascinating, having worked at one of these firms for a few years back in the noughties any audit of the seductive world of elite commerce is destined to broker my interest,...

Based on the collapse of Lehman Brothers during the financial meltdown of 2008, this cautionary tale short-sells us on excitement
Margin Call (2012)
Director: J C Chandor
Entertainment grade: C
History grade: B+
During the global financial crisis of September 2008, Lehman Brothers – the fourth-largest bank in the Us – filed for bankruptcy.
Finance
It's just another day in 2008 for Margin Call's unnamed investment bank, which is based on Lehman Brothers. Profits are down and 80% of the staff on the trading floor are being laid off. Among those cut is Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci), head of risk management. As he is ushered out by a security guard, he slips a key drive to his erstwhile minion Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto). "I was working on something, but they wouldn't let me finish it," he hisses. "Be careful." Peter takes a look, and quickly realises Unnamed Investment Bank Based on Lehman Brothers is so far...

Unlike Charles Ferguson’s Oscar-winning documentary Inside Job that made your blood boil at the sheer gall of the games played financial institutions and leading persons involved, ex-Merrill Lynch employee and writer-director J.C. Chandor’s new thriller serves a token of sweet torment on the money-grabbing scoundrels that kicked off the financial crisis.
It’s 2008, and after sweeping redundancies are announced at an investment bank on Wall Street, outgoing risk management boss Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci) hands a Usb drive with an unfinished project on it to junior risk analyst Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto), saying “be careful”. After finishing the project that same night, Sullivan horrifyingly discovers that trading will soon exceed the historical volatility levels used by the firm to calculate risk, and if mortgage-backed securities decrease by 25 per cent, the firm will suffer a loss greater than its market capitalisation. The plan of action that brings in senior...

The confident cinematic debut of writer-director Jc Chandor, an experienced maker of commercials, Margin Call is the best fictional treatment of the current economic crisis. It's altogether superior to Oliver Stone's hollow Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and in the same class as Charles Ferguson's revealing, piercingly intelligent documentary Inside Job. In fact, it stands up to comparison with the 1992 film of David Mamet's magnificently squalid play Glengarry Glen Ross, which in many ways it resembles, not least in featuring a peerless ensemble cast that includes Kevin Spacey. Glengarry Glen Ross takes place during a couple of days in a seedy provincial branch of a national company where desperate salesmen peddle worthless real estate. Margin Call, also set over some 36 hours or so, initially appears to be located in an altogether more honourable and affluent place, the Manhattan headquarters of a respected investment bank. But the year...

Much of our lurid film community is of the belief that America’s acting prowess died with its classic stars like Marlon Brando, James Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, and Grace Kelly. However, I’m here to argue that America’s actors are stronger than ever and can match up toe to toe with the likes of both Europe and Asia.
The list will be split into two parts: in part one, I delve into the modern world of Hollywood actors with actresses soon to follow in part two.
Part one: Top Ten Actors Working In Hollywood Today
Actor With The Most Potential To Hit It Big: Paddy Considine
Before I begin the list, I want to take a moment to discuss an actor whom I believe has enormous potential. While not American born, British actor Paddy Considine has been in his fair share of American films like In America,...

In the first decade of this century, rocket scientists who ruled the back rooms of Wall Street discovered something they touted as a real Philosopher's Stone. Through financial alchemy, they created Frankenstein's monster. This monster was named Collateralized Debt Obligation (Cdo). Cdo's were created using something known as The Formula. The Formula theorized that packages of mortgages could be mashed together and sliced apart into "good" parts and "bad" parts. The problem is that The Formula relied on a base set of assumptions that history shows were faulty to the core.
It is not possible to turn lead into gold and a sow's ear will always be a sow's ear no matter how much you want it to be a silk purse. Margin Call illustrates what happens when a financial institution realizes that the bag of gold they hold is in reality a bag of lead.

It would be the ultimate stroke of lucky timing, as the Occupy Wall Street movement continues to gain momentum, for a film to come along that excoriates the titans of finance, painting red and giving horns to every well-pressed white collar. And yes, "Margin Call" does few favors for many of the derivative-swapping traders and bankers involved in the 2008 economic collapse. But writer/director Jc Chandor's debut film largely sets its sights on the environment that allowed fiscal impropriety to take root -- while searching for humanity in decision makers that helped bring down the world economy.
The film stars Zachary Quinto and Penn Badgley as two young traders at a banking firm that is just beginning to feel the tremors of the oncoming financial earthquake. The film opens with mass firings on their floor, and Peter Sullivan (Quinto) and Seth Bregman (Badgley) survive the cuts, but their direct boss,...

Margin Call is a night in the life of a group of poor schmucks who work at multi-billion dollar investment firm. Set in the early stages of the 2008 crisis, the film revolves around the events following the discovery of an error in a predictive algorithm (or whatever) the company has been using to package stocks to trade as a single entity (or something).
We enter the film on a downsizing day, and one of the bigger fish in the companies risk management division, Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci) is being let go, along with most of the people who work on his floor. On his way out, he hands a flash drive to a young hotshot at the firm, Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto), and tells him to take a look at it. It's something he's been working on, but the firm won't let him finish it. He also tells him to be careful.

Margin Call is a complex ensemble drama, a timely greed-culture morality play taking place within a 24 hour period at a major financial firm. It’s an interesting look at how and why cut-throat traders allowed a catastrophic financial event to take place right under their noses. Margin Call is a good film that stays on message and doesn’t get distracted with subplots and romance but its energy level doesn’t quite match that of the world in which it’s set. Margin Call opens with an unnamed, high-powered brokerage firm laying off a substantial percentage of its staff including Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci), the head of their risk management department. As he’s shown the door, he tries to explain that a major meltdown is in the cards but his pleas fall on deaf ears (and they’ve killed his phone). Before leaving, he hands incriminating data over to...
