Sinopses(1)
Lee Gates é a estrela de Money Monster, um programa de televisão sobre investimentos financeiros. O sucesso é tal que se torna uma referência na área das finanças. Kyle Budwell é um investidor que segue as dicas de Gates e acaba por perder todo o dinheiro em acções de uma empresa de tecnologia que, contra todas as expectativas, abre falência imediatamente após os conselhos do programa. Desesperado e ansioso por vingança, irrompe pelo estúdio e apresenta a sua história, ao mesmo tempo que ameaça fazer explodir toda a equipa de produção. Durante várias horas e com milhões de pessoas a assistir à emissão em tempo real, Gates e a sua equipa terão de encontrar um modo se manterem vivos e, simultaneamente, procurar perceber a verdade por detrás da teia de mentiras financeiras que levou Budwell e tantos outros norte-americanos à ruína.

Um thriller com uma boa ideia, mas com um impulso dramático fraco. A conclusão emocional é impressionante, mas tudo antes não é tão envolvente e dinâmico como em Resgate de Howard, nem tão bem planeado como em Infiltrado de Lee. E é apenas tão fácil de esquecer como Cidade Louca de Gavras. Estou surpreendido por valer a pena produzir para o ambicioso Clooney. Talvez estivesse a contar com o maior empenho pessoal (e talento) da senhora diretora.

George Clooney and Julia Roberts are already faded stars for me and they can't pull off this mediocre financial thriller on their own, their star power has expired. The film is not very suspenseful, since the main villain didn’t look that dangerous to me, I wasn't scared of him, he didn't act intelligently, and spoils the viewing experience a lot. The finale was quite good, but I still have the impression that if it was directed by a man, we would see more violence or a thicker atmosphere, thus a better viewer experience. But it was watchable, I didn't get bored. 55%

It seemed to me that I already saw something like this somewhere else and made better. A fine idea, but more work was need on the screenplay and it lacks an emotional climax. The kidnapper is unpleasant and O'Connell doesn’t have enough charisma to make up for the flatness of his character and his imperfect intentions. Clooney isn’t cast well even though he gives a decent performance, I could maybe imagine Downey in the role. Dominic West just turned up to pick up his wages, which is a shame. Foster isn’t good at drama and several times she spoils a perfectly good subplot which could have engaged the viewer. I liked the overall message, the realistic consequence of a cliché situations and the well illustrated corporate structure, but it had much more potential.

Certainly less memorable than the similarly staged Phone Booth or the smart Inside Man. Jodie Foster does has experience with the material, the running time is short, so they produce and coax a fast pace and dynamic editing, but it needs more twists and adrenaline moments, which are basically taken care of only by a guy with a gun. A thematically interesting and certainly serious-looking affair with a solid narrative value that could be even spicier and have a more distinctive signature.

I contemplated why I shouldn’t give this movie five stars. It may give you the feeling of being seen a hundred times but if it keeps you in suspense for almost the whole movie, it is proof of quality. I would certainly also praise the premise, which appeared to be another one of the hyper-modern techno thrillers from the world of money initially only for it to become a completely simple and straightforward suspenseful movie that reminded me for the full one hour and a half of Phone Booth by Joel Schumacher. But it reminded me of it only because I couldn’t tear myself away from the TV. And if that’s the case, what other thriller deserves a better rating than this one?
