Jeremy irons is brilliant with kevin spacey. twnse gripping well directed masterpiece that is a most underrated movie.

While I am a big fan of Oliver Stone and I did enjoy his second Wall Street movie, I have to admit, that this one is superior in every way. Great acting talent at hand, great (unfortunately) real story, which might be a bit heightened for obvious reasons, but still very scary if you think about the whole thing.

What impressed me in this movie? The list is long.

I watched "Too Big to fail" which is more documentary style, and "The big short" which is more blockbuster style. Both these movies about the 2008 financial crisis were good and someone educational.

A terrific cast highlights "Margin Call," a 2011 film by a then new director, J.C.

A $6 trillion investment bank in Wall street finds out that their assets have started to rot and it's going to smell real bad real soon. This is kind of a prelude to the movie "Big Short".

If you are interested in the financial market, and know a thing or two about it, I think you would agree, this is the best finance movie. In my opinion, it is way better than The Big Short and The Wolf of Wall Street, two popular ones both of which are full of exaggerated drama.

Acting and script are pretty well done, but this has to have one of the stupidest movie endings in the history of cinema. Frankly I'd pass on this movie simply because with all the time the viewer invests in a pretty well done build up, it goes absolutely nowhere......

If you know about finance and the equity market, you would understand and like this movie. Not the best of the movie made on financial crisis but a good watch.
