GOLD (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.8|5.0 Starsìììì

Gold—
based on a true story—has ‘smarts’ and charisma  that keep audience interest. Expect a story twist toward the middle to end of the film that adds terrifically to its interest. Matthew McConaughey’s presence in the film carries this flick that seems designed more for guys than gals.
