Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.8|5.0
Starsìììì
Gold—based
on a true story—has a certain ‘smarts’ and charisma to it that keep the
audience watching. There is an unexpected twist toward the middle to end of the
film that catches one off guard and adds terrifically to its interest. Matthew
McConaughey’s presence in the film carries it. It’s a good guy pick.
Storyline
Kenny
Wells's (Matthew McConaughey) family mining company, Washoe, is on the brink of
complete failure. He has a dream that he needs to travel to Indonesia where he
meets Michael Acosta (Edgar Ramírez), a worldly wise miner who is in the same
situation as Kenny.
