Kenny Wells is een mislukte zakenman die in 1989 het mijnbedrijf Bre-X Minerals opricht. Het bedrijf komt maar niet van de grond tot Kenny samen met geoloog Michael Acosta een stuk land koopt in het midden van de jungle van Borneo. Na maanden van tegenspoed vinden ze uiteindelijk goud: volgens de eerste meting gaat het om ruim 56,6 miljoen gram, daarna blijkt het om 850 miljoen gram te gaan. Uiteindelijk wijst onderzoek zelfs uit dat ze de grootste goudader ter wereld hebben ontdekt, met niet minder dan 1,9 miljard gram aan goud. Wall Street gaat uit zijn dak en Kenny Wells ziet de waarde van zijn bedrijf stijgen tot 6,5 miljard dollar. Een wonder, zo lijkt het. (The Searchers)

Recensie (10)
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.

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.

The film reminds me more of The Big Short than The Wolf of Wall Street. It wasn't a bad film, Matthew McConaughey's performance is excellent and the overall idea is definitely intriguing, towards the end there is the expected stuffiness and trouble and only then does the film start to get interesting. For one viewing ok. 60%.
