Theatrical Trailer for MARGIN CALL - with Zachary Quinto & Kevin Spacey

TrailerMovie by Joey Paur

The new theatrical trailer has been released for the indie film Margin Call which has a great cast of actors that includes Zachary Quinto, Kevin Spacey, Michael Nardelli, Carla Gugino and Stanley Tucci. I haven't seen the film yet but our own Ben P has, and here's what he had to say in his review,

Margin Call is full of really solid performances from every member of the cast. Kevin Spacey does some great work as a manager in the company and provides the backbone of the emotional connection for the audience; we can feel the weight of the company's decision sitting on his shoulders throughout the movie. Stanley Tucci was excellent in a small role as the man who basically discovers the cracks in the system and, after a great scene reminiscent of Jason Reitman's Up in the Air, passes his knowledge on to up-and-comer Zachary Quinto, who was also really enjoyable to watch.

It's unfortunate, then, that among all this great acting, the movie itself wasn't that spectacular. It's an interesting story that's heavy on the dialogue, and thus feels much longer than its 109 minute run time....The worst offense of this film, however, is that one event occurs in the opening minutes of the movie, and the rest of runtime is devoted to explaining - again and again, ad nauseum - the same series of events to more powerful people up the corporate ladder.

As for me, as much as I like the actors in the film, I'm really not that interested and will wait until it hits one of the paid cable networks before I see it. 

Synopsis:

The key players at an investment firm become entangled during one perilous 24-hour period in the early stages of the 2008 financial crisis. When entry-level analyst Peter Sullivan unlocks information that could prove to be the downfall of the firm, a roller-coaster ride ensues as decisions both financial and moral catapult the lives of all involved to the brink of disaster. 

The film comes out limited release on October 21st 2011, check out the trailer and tell me what you think.
