Movie Synopsis :
Lee Gates is a TV personality whose insider tips have made him the money guru of Wall Street. When Kyle loses all of his family's money on a bad tip, he holds Lee and his entire show hostage on air threatening to kill Lee if he does not get the stock up 24 and a half points before the bell.
About Movies :
Cross “Dog Day Afternoon’’ with “The Big Short’’ and throw in a dash of “Network’’ and you’ve got “Money Monster,’’ a clever financial thriller with comic overtones that’s a solid investment of your time thanks to stellar work by George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
Clooney is in top form, leveraging his star persona as Lee, a self-loathing TV financial guru (think Jim Cramer) who pushes stocks to his gullible audience with props, puns, flashy graphics and backup dancers.
A high-tech stock Lee touts, Ibis Clear Capital, drops $800 million in the blink of an eye. So Lee invites his pal, Ibis CEO Walt (Dominic West) to come in for a softball interview on his show “Money Matters,” where the CEO can spin a tale of how a “computer glitch’’ wiped out investors.
Walt doesn’t show, but Lee has an uninvited guest, Kyle (a very good Jack O’Connell), an angry package-delivery man from Queens, who wants an explanation of where his $60,000 investment in Ibis went. His hostile takeover involves forcing Lee to don an explosive jacket at gunpoint on live TV while Kyle holds the trigger.
Lee is spectacularly ill-equipped to give Kyle what he wants, but fortunately Lee has a preternaturally unflappable and whip-smart director in Patty (Roberts in her juiciest role in years).
Patty has to calm down the terrified Lee, keep him from antagonizing Kyle, make Lee participate in “real journalism” (probably for the first time in his life) and, oh yeah, hold off the overeager cops.

I don’t want to give away too much about “Money Monster,’’ which takes place more or less in real time and eventually moves the action out of the TV studio and into the teeming streets of lower Manhattan.
But it’s packed with more twists than a bag of pretzels, even if some of them strain credulity a bit. And there are more than a few lighthearted cutaways about Asian programmers, Icelandic hackers and a producer who tests a new “erectile cream’’ on himself.
