Money Monster

Having to ride herd on insufferable TV Wall Street pundit Lee Gates (George Clooney) always tested the skill and patience of his show producer Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts). However, the day a weapons-wielding investor (Jack O’Connell) who’d lost everything on a stock Gates had trumpeted stormed the live studio demanding answers, she had to work with the hapless host in defusing the situation--and delivering the truth. Suspenseful skewering of the finance and media sectors also stars Dominic West, Caitriona Balfe, Giancarlo Esposito. 99 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
