My quick rating 6,5/10. A well acted even if it is over the top drama thriller. Clooney and Roberts give solid performances to keep this hostage situation as tense as can be. The idea of your everday person who loses big in the stock market by listneing to a morning tv show host give advice is not at all far fetched just the length they allow this one to go to prove a point is. It is definitely worth watching though.
