“Surely, in 2011, we’re all aware that those in government and on Wall Street are indeed clueless. As Irons puts it, “It’s not my brains that got me here.” While Margin Call is certainly a competent film centered around recent and compelling current events, it can’t manage to be more than just a stalled spectacle set in a soul crushing office environment.”
