Margin Call

Inspired by the 2008 financial crisis, an investment firm begins a corporate fire sale when it gets caught in a sh*t storm. Although this 24-hour behind-the-scenes story runs a bit dry with lots of financial speak, Alien did like the interesting characters caught in this stressful situation. The all-star cast includes Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Simon Baker, Zachery Quinto, Stanley Tucci, and Demi Moore who all must face some tough financial and moral decisions. It is a sad and scary tale that may make you angry enough to occupy Wall Street or a city park in protest. This is a timely stock market horror film that probably hardly anyone will see. This film is rated "R" for all of the F-bombs dropped.

Alien gives it 2 "our loss is your gain" stars out of 4.
