Review of Money Monster (2016) by Rui P — 15 May 2016

The Old Geezers Who Go To The Matinee Alone showed up in force for this one. George Clooney is sort of a hero to old guys and kinda dreamy for old gals. Anyway Jodie Foster directed this and she is really hitting her stride.

While the topic, mis-management of a hedge fund, seems to be banal, Ms Foster really made this into a funny and incredibly suspenseful movie. Clooney and Julia Roberts show why they are beloved veterans here but I think Jack O'Connell made the movie.

The NYNY cops do tend to come out deranged, but I guess that is a sign of the time. Some violence and a lot of bad language, but a really great movie in my opinion.
