Review of Money Monster (2016) by Drake T — 03 Aug 2016

Money Monster has an all star cast but not the all star story that it deserves. It's not predictable but at the same time, isn't multilayered enough to really captivate it's viewers.

As a suspense thriller it's not very daring, as a character drama there weren't enough depth or complexities. At the end of the road there just wasn't much of a pay off in revelations or truth either.

If only the film had a more cohesive message in regards to investing in the stock market, or a character angle for Clooney or O'Connell. Money Monster would have an identity but it's neither here nor there.
