I saw this film this afternoon with my wife. At first I was somewhat reluctant as it's MRQE score was only 56 however it was close to where we had lunch so we caught an afternoon showing. I figured it can't be all bad with George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Directed by Jodie Foster. At a running time of 95 minutes it was a no briner
Cast: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jack O'Connell, Caitriona Balfe, Dominic West, Giancarlo Esposito
Director: Jodie Foster
Running Time: 95 min.
Synopsis:
TV stock-market guru Lee Gates (George Clooney) and his producer Patty (Julia Roberts) are held hostage during a live broadcast by a man (Jack O'Connell) who lost his life's savings due to Gates' financial advice. The captor soon forces the pair to probe a conspiracy involving the global economy. Jodie Foster directed this thriller
This was actually a good film to watch albeit with a predictable ending. Best way I can describe the movie was like a combination of Dog Day Afternoon and The Truman Show
It was also good to see a few familiar faces as supporting characters such as Caitriona Balfe who stars in Outlander as well as Giancarlo Esposito who we all remember so well from Breaking Bad where he played Gus
Definitely worth the price of a matinee admission or a rental from Net Flix
