How have I not heard about this film?!?

Margin Call takes place within the first 24hrs of the Global Financial Crisis and focuses on the decisions made by some very influential people.

It stars a calvalcade of stars – Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Simon Baker, Demi Moore, Stanley Tucci, and Zachary Quinto.

The trailer looks outstanding, it grabs you from the first couple of seconds and doesn’t let go until the very end.

Now tell me you DON’T want to see it!

From the Blog!

1:37 exactly is a website designed to share movie reviews, trailers, and assorted bits n pieces that I find interesting, and hopefully some of you too. It is NOT a website for all official and up to date movie news and reviews. Trust me, there are PLENTY of great movie blogs and official websites that cover everything. In fact, if you ask me I will provide a list of them to you! Hopefully there is something on the site that you find interested and want to engage in a discussion on, if not, thanks for stopping by. Cheers, @Russell_Oz
