Nice try but misses mark!


Well acted(except Ben Affleck who makes me cringe he is so bad), but a poor script which tried so hard to make things look bad(which they were in 2008 and still are) so I can say i only finished the movie because I like Tommy Lee Jones and he is good in everything he does!(well Space Cowboys sucked)

I accurately predicted the suicide scene when the guy was in the bar drinking his lunch and I knew when he stood in the garage, he was going to shut the door and climb into the car, and if a common theater-goer can easily predict that, the script is WEAK!


Margin Call(2011) was MUCH better at showing the gravity of the collapse in 2008-9 when banks, auto-companies, Wall Street nearly tanked and dragged us ALL into a bad situation, which many of us are STILL enduring!

It does miss the mark hence why it fared poorly at the box office.
