Gold

A film that seems rather off-putting at the beginning, just to create a state of movie bliss at the end. At the beginning I had no idea what reason I could find to finish watching this movie. Although Matthew McConaughey showed another incredible transformation, at the same time he spoke so technically I thought for a while he fell from the Mars. Luckily, after meeting Édgar Ramírez, the technicality disappeared and the real story began, gradating the film's quality towards a bit shocking ending. What can I say, it was again one of those films I will be glad to remember. (02/05/2018)

An above-average standard reconstruction (in the day) of the biggest gold fraud on earth. Unfortunately made by a director without the necessary knack. The acting is great, and tubby McConaughey rocks. The screenplay is excellent, but has no build-up of tension, and simply tells the story as it unfolds, which is a bit disappointing. And this is another important lesson we can learn from history. (12/08/2018)

The film seemed utterly mediocre to me. I was only impressed by the performance of Matthew McConaughey, whom I don't like very much, but he was so sleazy this time that it was impossible not to notice him. I didn't care for his Kenny at first, but the longer I watched, the more interesting he got. I don’t think I’ll watch Gold again, but I'll remember Kenny for a long time. (08/19/2017)

Through and through a mediocre story about how a fat bum came to happiness, based solely on yet another sweaty and enthusiastic creation of master Matthew, which flounders along in a muddled two-hour film with no significant emotional moments, surprising twists or truly original directorial ideas. And not even the the well thought-out structure of the script or the decent retro jacket can completely save it. (08/15/2017)

I didn't think a movie with this title and Matthew in a similar role - mainly visually - could captivate me much, but in the end, it turned out that the story was wonderfully acted and presented with a pleasant sense of humor, so I just enjoyed myself. Not right from start to finish, but I certainly didn't mind watching it one bit. (04/18/2017)
