Zachary Quinto must be a helluva producer to assemble such a top-notch cast with such a lightweight script. MARGIN CALL is a terrible movie because it's all dialogue. Every single scene involves seated people talking.
HBO's TOO BIG TO FAIL is a far superior production. MARGIN CALL tries to seem important but the material is botched. They are about to set off a chain reaction that will devastate the financial markets yet we never see the pressure, the fears, the sweat, the panic. Oh sure, the characters talk about these things but we never get a sense that it's truly happening.
Poor direction, poor writing.
Zach's company won't be around much longer if he continues to make films like this.
