Movie Haiku:First time writer/director assembles fabulous cast but doesn''t quite know where to lead them. Told all dark & ominous, theme is the financial meltdown of 2008 thru the eyes of a junior analyst (Zachary Quinto). Rich says Chandor must have done something right because watching gave him a stomach ache, but Jan thought one dimensional characters were way too speechy.
