Writer/director J.C. Chandor's debut feature is a thriller set in the high-stakes--and, today, fairly contentious--world of the financial industry. Margin Call features a stellar ensemble cast led by Zachary Quinto, Stanley Tucci, and Kevin Spacey starring as key players at a fictional investment firm during a perilous 24-hour period in the early stages of the 2008 financial meltdown. An entry-level analyst unlocks information that could prove to be the downfall of the firm, setting in motion a roller-coaster ride of decisions both financial and moral, hurtling everyone involved to the brink of disaster. Margin Call is a stark and bravely authentic portrayal of the financial industry and its denizens as they confront the decisions that shape our global future.
"Margin Call is one of the strongest American films of the year and easily the best Wall Street movie ever made." --David Denby, New Yorker (full review)
"Chandor's film is not a tale of the plots and counterplots of conniving bankers. It is a disaster movie, in which even the Masters of the Universe are running for their lives." --Christopher Orr, The Atlantic (full review)
"Chilling and enjoyable in unequal measure. Entertainment predominates, but entertainment with smarts, and a well-honed edge." --Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal (full review)
