Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Margin Call (2011)

Something happens in an office where a bunch of people just got laid off, but there was this unnecessary vagueness to what was going on for way too long. It just got frustrating. And then we find out it's basically the old news that it's a financial institution realizing they're overextended and on the brink of collapse so they need to grab what cash they can before everyone else figures it out and can no longer be duped into buying something worthless.

There was a clinical feel to the entire thing.  I didn't care about anyone and I felt like one of the people who wasn't high-level enough to be told exactly what's happening.
