Overall, this film definitely has some teeth and will get us viewers through to Blockbuster Season. Review by: Erika Ashley During the live broadcasting of a financial entertainment television show, hosted by Lee Gates, a troubled and angry investor and show viewer, Kyle Budwell, takes Lee hostage on air.

Their CEO goes missing momentarily and as a result thousands of investors are turning out their pockets and find themselves empty handed. With every last penny of his money invested and lost, Kyle takes matters in his own hands and decides to punish Lee and IBIS live on air for the public to see. It’s been a while since an adequate hostage film has hooked viewers from the beginning all the way through t

It's a busy time for Julia Roberts in her producer/star capacity. She's already got based-on-reality crime story Train Man in development and is adding to her potential To Do list with Fool Me Once . This one is firmly back in fictional thriller territory, adapting Harlan Coben's recent book (so recent, it hit shelves last week) via her Red Om Films company. The story focuses on a former special ops pilot named Maya (Roberts, if she does decide to star) who is horrified when she sees her two-year-old daughter playing with her husband Joe in the nanny cam while she's at work. The reason she's so shocked? Joe was horribly murdered two weeks earlier. Cue this! That's all the details that Variety had to share on the project so far, as it's yet to pick up a writer, director or other cast. In more solid Roberts projects, she'll be seen in Jodie Foster's Money Monster (which just put out a new poster, and hits UK screens on May 27) and Garry Marshall&
