I think most of my intrigue for this movie came from the cast.
Although Julia Roberts hasn't starred in any blockbuster hits as of late, I've
still enjoyed her performances in any role she tackles. George Clooney has
always been one of my faves, and I was happy to see these two sharing the
screen, and also interested to see Jodie Foster's work in the director's chair.
She hasn't directed a film since The Beaver in 2011, which I enjoyed. I wasn't
expected to be blown away by this movie, but I did expect to get my monies
worth...and I did.
What I enjoyed most about this film was
the running time. The movie was less than 2hrs, which helped to keep the story
focused, short, and sweet. The story moved at a pace that helped to draw you
in, along with the dialogue in the story. The acting was also a plus. Everyone
was very strong in their respective roles. George Clooney and that dancing
though?...lol...smh. Roberts and Clooney were masterful together. I also
enjoyed the co-stars who added humor to the story, like the Lenny (the
cameraman), Bree (the asst...Also Phylicia Rashad's daughter Condola...way to
go girl!), and Ron. Besides the characters, I thought the plot did a great job
of building up. One scene that unexpectedly left was the one with Kyle and his
girlfriend...wow...that was tough. ~Yikes
I definitely enjoyed this movie for all
the right reasons. Another movie that will have you pissed and Wall Street, The
System and the 1%...lol. It is a crime thriller drama that delivers on all
angles. It's nothing exceptional, but it has good entertainment value...B+
