Kenny Wells ostatnio nie ma szczęścia w interesach. Rozpaczliwie potrzebuje więc spektakularnego przełomu. Postanawia zdobyć fortunę dzięki swemu zamiłowaniu do przygód i ryzyka. Wraz z szanowanym podróżnikiem Michaelem Acostą wyrusza do Indonezji, by w sercu tamtejszej dżungli szukać złota. Ryzyko jest ogromne, mało kto wierzy w powodzenie misji, a jednak przeczucie Wellsa okazuje się prawdziwe. W jednej chwili z podupadającego biznesmena staje się milionerem i gwiazdą Wall Street. Ale tam gdzie są wielkie pieniądze, zaczynają się wielkie kłopoty. Chętnych do podziału złotego tortu znajduje się coraz więcej: począwszy od indonezyjskich władz, poprzez różnej maści cwaniaków, a na CIA kończąc. Kenny Wells zamiast cieszyć się luksusem, będzie musiał zmierzyć się z ludźmi, dla których oszustwo to chleb powszedni. (Monolith)

I was intrigued by the trailer and Matthew McConaughey's transformation (I thought it was a mask, but he was really set up that way...), I was impressed by Daniel Pemberton's soundtrack... I didn't know anything about the real story, I didn't know the director, I went to the movie theatre and I don't regret it. Gold is a light, breezy and ever so lucid film that beautifully mixes the adventure genre with the drama of a stubborn modern gold digger who searches and searches, although he may have already found it, and he just doesn't know it. Of course, it sounds like a huge cliché, but during the two hours it never occurred to me that I was watching something I'd actually seen many times before. On the contrary, I was constantly pleasantly surprised by the film, I appreciated that the main character is actually likable (and thankfully not a shark in the style of The Wolf of Wall Street), that it's not a problem to understand him and, thanks to that, to actually experience the whole story with him. I was very surprised by two things - the final fifteen minutes or so, which I won't write about, and the fact that Bryce Dallas Howard, whom I didn't recognize until the credits, was in the film.

Though Gold has a plot structure with the right punchlines, it has no drive and the director’s way of doing things is too
detached. And the choice of songs used in the soundtrack is downright dubious. The movie would benefit from more
skillful, faster storytelling and some vivacity like American Hustle had (both films take place in a similar retro America).

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.

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.

A traditionally well-prepared McConaughey, giving his usual 100 percent to his role. Otherwise, however, this is a rather uninteresting film inspired by a true story, which follows in the footsteps of American Hustle in its retro style, but lacking vivacity and passion. Other than a couple of emotionally accomplished situations, it’s a real borefest.
