When we see George Clooney on the big screen, we are regularly treated to an ultra cool, ultra confident, ultra collected character. A Danny Ocean or Matt Kowalski. Lee Gates, Clooney's character in Money Monster may initially be of the same mold, but has his world turned upside down when he is attacked on the set of his financial news TV show.
As it becomes clear to him that the attacker, Kyle Budwell (Jack O'Connell), is not part of some planned prank but rather truly there to hurt someone, for a moment—just a moment—Gates is utterly terrified and completely without defenses. All too quickly, he recovers and while he is scared for most of the film, that raw bit of terror that we too rarely see in Clooney's eyes dissipates.
This recovery is emblematic of a tonal problem which the Jodie Foster-directed film faces.
