You know what they say about money as the root of most evil and whilst on the other hand it can be the perfect helping hand or lovely gesture. Interesting enough in this one however money takes the evil route as it has our protagonists and antagonists at each other’s throat because of this turn of events.
Financial TV host Lee Gates (George Clooney) and his producer Patty (Julia Roberts), are suddenly put in an explosive situation when Kyle (Jack O’Connel), an irate investor who has lost everything, forcefully takes over their studio. During a tense standoff broadcast to millions on live TV, Lee and Patty must work furiously against the clock on an earpiece to unravel the mystery behind a conspiracy at the heart of today’s fast-paced, high-tech global markets and defuse the hostage situation. Renowned as the king and queen of romantic films in their heydays at the turn of the new millennium, George and Roberts demonstrate they still got their magic touch as Money Monster is quite a spectacle which takes one to the very edge and shakes nerves. The movie villain Jack O’Connel also brought his A-game performance from biography hit Unbroken.
