    • Trivia
      For scheduling reasons, Julia Roberts and George Clooney worked together very little in this film. Roberts shot all her scenes with green screen on the monitors her character watches throughout the movie.
    • Goofs
      When challenged, Walt says that he did nothing illegal and it's "just business". However, in order to run a trading company, he'd have to know that shorting his stock before switching the algorithm off is textbook insider trading, and is highly illegal. Of course he could be deliberately lying because that's what he does, but Gates should also know this. Later when his charges are being read, insider trading is not mentioned.

    Fairly tense thriller with unexpected laughs

    Considering this is a pretty intense movie about a desperate guy threatening to shoot and blow up people, this movie had moments of unexpected humour. The whole cinema was laughing at various points. Which was very cleverly done by director, Jodie Foster. The movie is well scripted and well acted. Clooney and Roberts clearly enjoy working together (just don't remind me of Ocean's 12). I agree with the other reviewer who said the movie should have just stopped with the return to the foosball table, and not gone for the schmaltzy hospital scene. Not the greatest movie of the year and not Oscar-worthy, but well worth the price of the movie ticket. Can't understand why it's only got a rating of 6.8 on IMDb.
