Be first. Be smarter. Or cheat.

A thriller that revolves around the key people at a investment bank over a 24-hour period during the early stages of the financial crisis.

User Review: Saw this at New Directors festival in NYC and really loved and was engrossed in this film. A fantastic cast with splendid performances. The film is very intense and although it is about a company involved in the financial meltdown of 2008, it really is about much more. I particularly liked the way the film depicts the frightening resolution and ruthless power of the corporation over the lives of people that work there as well as the implications and ripples for all else.How those people get sucked in to the embrace, security and pleasures of what the corporations have to offer and the consequences and vulnerabilities of those choices.The freedom and comforts that we cherish here in twenty first century USA are not as secure as we might reflect. Don’t want to say much more, additional than that "Margin Call" is very relating and in the end affecting and thought provoking.It packs a powerful punch.
