Talking Movies
by Maria Silva
This week, I’m reviewing the movie Follow the Money. It’s a thriller based on a detective novel from the 1980s. The story focuses on a handsome, charming detective who is looking for a bank robber who has stolen from more than 20 banks in the city. The robber, however, is so talented that no one knows what they look like. The detective is just about to give up when a mysterious stranger leaves him some surprising information as a clue. The detective then starts to realize that the robber is someone he has met before, but will he be able to stop them in time?
If you have the opportunity, you should definitely go and see this movie. In fact, it was so good that I’m going to see it again next week. The special effects are incredible and the plot is so exciting because you never know what is going to happen next! What’s more, Follow the Money can be enjoyed by both children and adults – it’s suitable for everyone. The only negative thing I have to say is about the acting. The actors try their best, but it’s sometimes obvious that they don’t have a lot of experience.
I give Follow the Money four out of five stars!
