Typical George Clooney character

The basic plot is that a stock investor, Kyle Budwell (Jack O'Connell), loses his inheritance because he followed the advice of a flashy TV investment advisor. Kyle is not going to take it anymore and goes off h-a-l-f-c-o-c-k-e-d to express his frustration on the air of the studio. Naturally, all the standard clichés and actions are taken. This leads some film viewers to be disappointed as it appears to be slow-paced and predictable. However, this is what makes the movie. As we get to see Lee Gates (George Clooney) go from smug to scared, to in control, to curious, and to caring. The outside world sees a buffoon being overwhelmed by Stockholm Syndrome. The program producer, Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts), gets new insights into the complexity of Lee Gates and a new understanding of what made him a snot. The police get frustrated because n-o-b-o-d-y will listen to them, and all they want to do is just shoot s-o-m-e-b-o-d-y. You may remember George Clooney as Matt Stevens in “Return of the Killer Tomatoes!” (1988).
