Doesn't say anything that is no longer known, but what it has to say, it does it with style, sense of humor and suspense. [Full review in Spanish]May 19, 2016
With all the ranting about a "rigged" financial system, the movie certainly captures the zeitgeist, but it' so overloaded with action-movie tropes and tech-based plot contrivances that it begins to feel a little silly.May 13, 2016
Investing in this movie would not be a safe bet.January 03, 2017
Part of what makes Money Monster less than it should be is the non-thrilling aspect of this thriller storyline.April 05, 2017
Money Monster occasionally veers deep into the weeds of financial jargon -- quantitative analytics, dark pools, high-frequency trading -- but the filmmakers wisely opt to embrace the broad audience appeal of a frenetic conspiracy thriller.May 23, 2016

The movie works as both an old fashioned ( ... ) siege thriller, and as a serious indictment of American financial institutions.December 30, 2016
Money Monster doesn't fully come alive on screen. It tries too hard to make a statement, losing sight of the people amid the politics.May 16, 2016
The pieces would seem to be in place, but ... "Money Monster" is a stodgy, moribund plodder loaded with stock characters that wouldn't have felt edgy in 1983 and has about the same contemporary urgency as your average late-night rerun of "CSI: NY."December 30, 2016
The yammer and righteousness defeat Clooney and even Julia Roberts, stuck at a console twitching knobs and micromanaging frowns as the producer trying to hold the show together.May 18, 2016
A bewilderingly facile and preposterously plotted misfire that offers few pleasures as either a star-driven thriller or a big-screen indictment of the forces that devastated global bank accounts.
