Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Nelson Strang "Nothing succeeds like success," so they say. This film illustrates this saying by effectively giving us a modern take on the tulip bubble of the early 1600s. As Gordon Gekko says in 'Wall Street', "Greed is good". And greed makes for fascinating stories. Unfortunately, this story drags somewhat in the middle, but the payoff is delicious and definitely worth sticking it out for.
cinemajesty Movie Review: "Gold" (2016)Due to the already-performed rush of former 1980s business practices in season 2013/2014 with releases of "The Wolf Of Wall Street" starring Leonardo DiCaprio directed by Martin Scorsese and "Dallas Buyers Club" directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, who also provides actor Matthew McConaughey with twisting as suspenseful screenwriting moments to shine.Nevertheless the character of Kenny Wells in the movie "Gold" directed by screenwriter-turned-director Stephen Gaghan and further executive produced by a group of already-awarded Hollywood people alongside Harvey & Bob Weinstein's New York-based distribution company, comes a classic tale of a three-act-drama, where the adventure elements in jungles of prospecting Indonesia get neglected by an originally co-written screenplay full of 1980s cliché of boozing, smoking and never-given-up, greed-is-good attitude of "The American Dream" to strike it rich for a certain period in life, when Matthew McConaughey's portrayal of Kenny Wells awakes the reminiscence about the character of Ron Woodroof in "Dallas Buyers Club", which stays a picture open for revisits due to diverse character encounters and emotional arcs of conviction, especially in the relationship between Ron & Rayon (Jared Leto); a circumstance that the supporting character of Michael Acosta, professionally outlined by actor Edgar Ramírez, hardly established with business partner Kenny Wells, sitting sweaten and heavy-breathing in a boat up river, too shallow runs the movie along with its lengths-indulging 110-Minute-Editorial, which had been bringing together one of the best filmmakers in the business from Cinematographer Robert Elswit to color corrections by Stefan Sonnenfeld at Company 3 and match-making production design by Maria Djurkovic, known for "Billy Elliott" (2000) directed by Stephen Daldry."Gold" can be watched as one-way-street occasion with respect to Matthew McConaughey's 1980s lifestyle variation of an Academy-Award-Winning role. But at a closer look, Director Stephen Gaghan in his third feature attempt after "Abandon" (2002) and a much more gripping "Syriana" (2005) due to an immersive subplot-cross-cutting editorial and an out-of-the-ordinary boundaries-stretching performance by actor George Clooney; which this unless pleasantly-concluding picture just misses out to deliver.FAZIT: Picture rejected (outnumbered) © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
giuliocc-301-860698 Big budget, but an uninspiring story lead by Matthew McConaughey (MC). Just couldn't connect with the characters. There is nothing sophisticated about this film. MC is as usual, over acting, but this is what you sign up for when he leads. Supporting cast is great. Not sure why Bryce Dallas Howard's character is for as a love interest. Their relationship makes zero connection with the audience. A very long drawn out story with some minor climaxes. The plot is quite thin and the direction and editing do not bring the audience onboard. Overall a well made film, but the story is just not engaging and the characters forgettable.
alindsay-al This film had a big buzz going round it and I have now seen it and I have to be honest it was okay but quite underwhelming. The premise of the film sees a businessman get a last chance to find gold with an eccentric searcher. Now Matthew mcconaughey plays the lead in this film and he owns the screen, there is a clear physical transformation and it helps give him this presence on screen. He commits to this role and gives a great charismatic performance. Edgar ramirez plays his business partner in this film and his usual quite stoic performance works here as there dynamic does really work. Corey stoll also has a good role in the film providing some entertaining scenes. Bruce Dallas Howard plays mcconaughey's romance in the film and I just didn't find there relationship to be very interesting and really didn't need it in the film. Toby kebbell also has a really small role in the film and he was completely underutilised in this film. The first half of the film has an interesting story to it as you see these guys trying to build there project up and I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I find the last act to be convoluted and all over the place so much that I lost interest in what was going on. The script has some humour in it that does work mixed with a bit of good drama. But there is also too much exposition that I still didn't understand and made the film overly Complex. The style of the film has some good scenes in it especially early when showing how the gold harvesting works. Though there really isn't anything really unique in the film and it does feel pretty run of the mill stuff. Overall this film is an okay but overall forgettable experience.
