Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Money Monster (out Jun 2) is a drama-thriller that is too contrived to take seriously. George Clooney stars as the host of a finance TV show who is taken hostage by an aggrieved investor. It has good intentions but it's far below the bar set by films such as Margin Call and The Big Short. Grade: C+.
