It’s the night before the big collapse and Wall Street can’t sleep...
Escalation is the main thing Margin Call has going for it, as more substantial actors are trotted out to have their way with Chandor’s realistic-sounding boardroom dialogue. Kevin Spacey’s glib floor chief gives ground to an even bigger corporate prick played by The Mentalist’s Simon Baker; finally, we reach Jeremy Irons tearing into a steak in an airy, top-floor restaurant. He takes the long view of the impending crisis; to hear this great voice curl around a Network-worthy climactic monologue is almost prize enough to get you past the surfeit of pretty skyline shots and vacant stares out of cab windows. Needless to say, no character apologises.
