AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

enricoeisen Definitely a must watch movie, deserving 8 stars. Not gold but good

Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Gold (2016)' falls firmly into the category of bio-pics that favour a fast-pace and 'cool' facade, the ones that stick their big star into a quite unglamorous real-life role and have them narrate their way through a pretty predictable rags-to-riches (and usually back to rags again) plot. While it certainly isn't up to the gold standard of such features, it doesn't have a hard time grabbing its bronze-tier medal and holding onto it with both hands. Beneath the exact same aesthetic and overall presentation is a decent story, one which does surprise in a few key places and actually provides a sturdy vehicle for its leading man in which to ride about with wheel-spinning glee. It's usually entertaining enough to warrant its existence and also has the benefit of not being a prolific enough headline to come with expectations, in terms of its general plot and its actual journalistic integrity. It doesn't quite strike gold, but it's fairly fun to watch it try. 6/10

SnoopyStyle Inspired by the Bre-X scandal, it's 1988 Reno. Hard drinking Kenny Wells (Matthew McConaughey) and girlfriend Kay (Bryce Dallas Howard) are struggling. He's a lifelong wildcat prospector working for his respected father until his sudden death. With nothing left in business, he goes to Indonesia and connects with geologist Michael Acosta (Édgar Ramírez) who has a revolutionary theory. They head into the jungle and become gold mining legends.I do remember Bre-X. Some of it came back to me along with the movie. I remember one of the reporters telling the story of a souvenir core sample. They handed out samples to reporters and investors. As the scandal broke, they went back to test those samples. I think there is a missing character. It needs an investigative reporter who uncovers the scandal. Kenny and Kay's breakup seems abrupt. The second half seems a bit rushed although the two hour running time probably forced some cutting. McConaughey may be trying too hard shooting for an award. There is a compelling character story here if not fully realized as a thriller.

jaapeelman Once again Matthew McConaughey is playing a superb role as gold-digger Kenny Wells, who travels to Indonesia to persuade a geologist to look for gold with him. After a lot of trouble and malaria they apparently succeed. Off course than the big guys want a piece of the action and some scheming is going on. Finally it turns out that it is all a big fraud which has been set up by the geologist. Wells is questioned by the FBI but they believe he is innocent. The final scene is just brilliant. I saw this movie at home but it is one of the best movies I have seen in a few months. A lot of the blockbuster-movies like the Mummy etc are a piece of crap compared to Gold. Gold is absolutely worth your time. I rate it an 8,5 but for IMDb.com have to make that an 8 but it is a real big fat eight!
