Here’s an ethics question for everyone: Would you do something wrong (read: bend the truth or just flat-out lie) to save your own hide or someone else’s because in the long run you know it’s a decision for the greater good? The film Margaret attempts to answer that in a very nebulous manner. In some ways it’s a modern and ethically grey (messed up is more appropriate) fable, but the story goes to show that not only can a wrong decision have unintended consequences, those ripples can go farther than you’d ever imagine. More importantly, somethings can never ever be undone or taken back.

What I got was a disappointment which mirrored the on-screen let down that the characters of this film experienced when arriving at Eden Resort. I usually have a pretty good track record when it comes to judging the outcome of a movie based solely on the trailer. If the trailer seems too good to be true, then the film is probably going to be a let down. I thought for sure with the likes of Bateman, Bell, Vaughn & Favreau (also writing) and an appearance from Jean Reno, this movie would…
