Financial TV host Lee Gates and his producer Patty are put in an extreme situation when an irate investor takes over their studio.
What critics thought
A mixed-reviewed thriller that most critics found entertaining enough in the moment but too shallow to fully capitalize on its timely premise — the cast, particularly Clooney, drew consistent praise, while the script's handling of financial anger was the main point of contention, with some finding it bracingly tense and others finding it a pale imitation of angrier, sharper films on the same subject.
“quality of the acting both enhances the credibility of the narrative and exposes some of its weak points”
A. O. Scott·The New York Times
“keeps the action vigorous and the suspense high”
Richard Brody·The New Yorker
“raucous hostage thriller that eschews explanation for wish-fulfillment”
Robbie Collin·The Telegraph
“too fast, ripping the audience out of the unfolding drama”
Josh Lasser·IGN
