In the real-time, high stakes thriller Money Monster, George Clooney and Julia Roberts star as financial TV host Lee Gates and his producer Patty, who are put in an extreme situation when an irate investor who has lost everything (Jack O'Connell) forcefully takes over their studio. During a tense standoff broadcast to millions on live TV, Lee and Patty must work furiously against the clock to unravel the mystery behind a conspiracy at the heart of today's fast-paced, high-tech global markets. Written by Sony Pictures Entertainment
What a boring movie. I watched the trailer and thought this would be a riveting action filled movie. Nope; it's actually a really lazily directed/acted/produced movie with absolutely no excitement. The trailer is excellent, lots of tense moments, makes you wonder how it will all turn out. Those moments in the movie are all drawn out with no tension-filled music to hype up the emotion and no exciting camera work or facial expressions from the actors to make you feel entertained. Jack O'Connell seemed to be the only one in real anguish, and George Clooney had some anxiety in the beginning but then after about 10 minutes, all that is forgotten and the movie plays out and is so cheesy I started seeing similarities between it and Hallmark Channel movies. There was a lot of propaganda and preachiness about the stock market as well. Annoying. The amount of language was way over the top. I watched this on Vidangel.com, and all the language was silenced, but that left out seriously 1/3 of what everyone was saying! Ridiculous and unnecessary, boring movie. Just watch the trailer and try to resist the urge to go see the full-length movie.
