Jodie Foster did a good job keeping "Money Monster" realistic and moving, and all players came across as credible, and the NYC financial district and NYPD formed a solid backdrop to the action. Clooney and Roberts put in their usual strong performances, but the standout was O'Connell. I'd also give kudos to the guy who played a TV cameraman and had some of the best lines. The action was such that the first two thirds of the film kept me at the edge of my seat. Only in the last third did the plot fall apart a bit with a overly complex explanation of the incident that provoked the rest of the story. But we'll give it a pass because the rest of the effort was so well done. A solid 7, maybe a bit more.
