Margin Call
Margin Call
Wall Street. Eric Dale, uno dei capi settore di una grossa banca di credito finanziario, viene licenziato in tronco. Ha solo pochissimo tempo per prendere i suoi effetti personali ed andarsene. Fa in tempo però a consegnare una chiavetta di computer al giovane analista Peter Sullivan dicendogli di fare attenzione. Peter, dopo che i suoi compagni di lavoro sono usciti, scopre che i dati che emergono dai file di Eric dicono che la banca, appoggiandosi su azioni virtuali, ha le ore contate. Sullivan mette in allarme le alte sfere e si convoca nella notte una riunione di emergenza. Bisogna decidere in tempi rapidissimi il da farsi o il crollo dell'Istituto sarà verticale. Le scelte da compiere dovranno fare (o non fare) i conti con l'etica.

Heavy drama about the start to the economic collapse that led to the housing crisis, and how little the rich and powerful cared about it. For them it was just a game and the ones who truly cared were just pushed aside and disregarded.
The atmosphere is tense and the performances are great. You really feel the frustration of the main characters knowing that the USA and possible the world is about to be in a a lot of trouble, but no one is listening.
The only main issue is unless you are really knowledgeable about economics and investing, you might need to do a little homework. The movie does not explain a lot, which on one hand I appreciate it when movies don’t make their audience feel stupid. You just know something bad is about to happen, and the whole plot device is similar to the suitcase in Pulp Fiction. You don’t know what’s in that case but it is serious enough to move the plot forward.
On the other hand, it can get a bit confusing with all the jargon going on.
