&#8216;Money Monster&#8217; gets 2.5 stars: &#8220;Propelled by the same populist rage as films like last year’s &#8216;The Big Short&#8217; and this year’s most talked-about political campaigns, &#8216;Money Monster&#8217; is nothing if not timely, which makes it all the more disappointing when the plot takes increasingly outlandish, even naive turns, and what could have been a modern-day classic on a par with &#8216;Dog Day Afternoon&#8217; or &#8216;Network&#8217; instead becomes &#8216;Speed&#8217; with more high-frequency trading and arcane algorithms.&#8221; Full story
