Money Monster (EN) Review

Hey everybody,

I don't know anything about finances, the world economy or stock markets. I get a headache when I hear any of these words so it was pretty suprising that I was interested to see this movie. Why did I went to see it then? 1. I was really looking forward to see a good thriller 2. Because I write a blog about movies so it's kind of my duty to watch as many as possible and 3. I had a free night so where better to spent it then the cinema.

Money Monster follows TV host Lee Gates when he gets held hostage during a live broadcast. Together with his director Patty he has to talk and move his way through the situation when their lives and those of their crew are on the line. What does this mysterious man want and is he really the bad guy in this story?

A thriller is supposed to keep you on the edge of your seat, right? Well let's just say I wasn't on the edge of my seat but more halfway? Their were some thrilling moments, the movie has a great opening and after that it's really difficult to keep the tension up and rising. It's a great directorial debut by Jodie Foster and George Clooney and Julia Roberts both do a solid job. A little shout-out to Jack O'Connell who plays a strong part as the abductor. It's not the best thriller but at least it never gets boring and I really hope Jodie Foster keeps up the good work.
