Review of Money Monster (2016) by Howard B — 13 May 2016

Try and disregard the prevailing critical message on this first directorial foray into the mainstream thriller for Jodie Foster, for the film remains a wildly entertaining, genuine thrill ride from start to finish.

Indeed, "Money Monster" is as much a magnificent testament to the power of filmic tension as it is a riotous showcase of the respective dramatic talents involved. And thanks to a carefully-handled message and a killer final act, the film ultimately soars above expectations, delivering an almost completely satisfying cinematic experience.
