Title: Not very thrilling for a thriller
Review: Though Margin Call is advertised as a thriller, there's no suspense to be had. Someone figures out the firm's mortgage-backed securities aren't secure at all. They sit in offices having meetings for half the movie. Then they initiate a banking collapse to save the firm. Some people get fired. Some don't. Everyone comes out filthy rich. The presence of a fine cast and suspenseful music can't bring a dead story to life, though they certainly try.If you're looking for excitement, look elsewhere. If you're looking to understand the economic collapse, try NPR's Planet Money podcast.
