    Margin Call

    Reviewed by
    phl222@

    Serious no non-sense film about the real world of high-level financial firms. Ripped straight out of the headlines. The story also points to the double-bind people are in... we may all object to the big fat boni that financial execs pay themselves for playing the stock-market ponies, but put into a similar situation, and offered enough money, everyone has their price. This is the disturbing message delivered in this film: Self-interest trumps nearly everything else, including moral concepts of fairness. And this movie works as "good art" because it does what good art does best: It holds up a mirror to who we are. So it's not hard to imagine why this film didn't get a much higher rating. People don't like seeing what they saw reflected in the mirror. Themselves.
