Margin Call

Description

Bankers were in an absolute panic but it never showed on their faces or in their actions, at least not publicly. On one day at the early beginning of the financial crisis that began in 2008 we find there is no Gordon Gekko to keep us informed as to what was actually happening but in the boardrooms there was activity akin to a super earthquake taking place. How and why the events to follow came to be may be merely speculation but for those who lived through it, and survived it, Margin Call is just about as good a representation to be found. The extremely talented actor Kevin Spacey (Beyond the Sea, American Beauty) stars as Sam Rogers, Paul Bettany (Iron Man, A Beautiful Mind) is Will Emerson, Mary McDonnell (Dances With Wolves, Battlestar Galactica) portrays Mary Rogers, and Demi Moore (Ghost, Indecent Proposal) is Sarah Robertson.his film is more about human foibles than about banking in general and depicts how tragic money matters can be when we lose what we have become dependent on. The movie makers involved here strive to keep it real and not over dramatize the situation.

On December 3, 2010, former Washington lobbyist, kingmaker, huckster, and felon was released from federal prison after serving nearly four years of a six-year sentence for fraud and corruption of public officials. A few days later, Casino Jack movie opened in limited North American release: The consummate con man and his complicated movie are out on the streets. "Casino Jack movie attempts to dramatize Jack Abramoff's epic manipulation and exploitation of Native American gaming officials and his systematic corruption of two White House officials, a Congressman, and nine other lobbyists and Congressional staffers. Abramoff took millions from the gaming nations, and he redistributed hundreds of thousands among the folks who walk Washington's corridors of power. The difference, of course, was just his fee."The problem is that epic scandals do not easily reduce to pulp fiction fare. Casino Jack is one of those ripped-from-the-headlines movies that proves both Truth's capacity for growing stranger than fiction and a good story's capacity for becoming too big even for the big screen. The culture of corruption in Washington, DC is just too complicated to unravel in one single plot thread, and the character of "Casino Jack" Abramoff is just a little too kaleidoscopically complex and quirky to demystify in just an hour and a half. Kevin Spacey, however, brings all of his training, talent, and one-of-a-kind intensity to the role of Abramoff. Even if the story does not always make perfect sense, nevertheless Spacey and associates recreate the look and feel of "an almost impossibly rich historical record of scandal, ambition, double dealing and ideological grandstanding."
