Review of Money Monster (2016) by Muaaz_Mahamed — 04 Jun 2016

Director Jodie Foster adds a comedic twist to the standard hostage thriller genre and while the stakes never seem that high, the movie is still an enjoyable experience. Led by solid performances from the three leads, the movie plays out in real time (sort of) and manages to maintain interest throughout.

The movie however only scratches the surface of its broad themes of corporate greed and media irresponsibility and a larger focus on that could have definitely elevated the movie.
