Preview: Margin Call (2011)

Synopsis:

On the bring of one of the biggest Stock Market disasters in history, a company of stock traders attempt to offload a set of stocks they know are worth nothing, simply so they don't lose their shirts.

• Poster: B

Review:

There are worse ways to display your cast prominently, using a downwardly-trajecting series of boars and stock ticker numbers creates the necessary backdrop for such an endeavor.

• Trailer: C

Review:

There's some solid talent in the cast, but the haphazard construction of this trailer, trying to provide so much plot detail as to make watching the film seem pointless, dismantles any appeal the film might otherwise have had.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• October 21, 2011
