By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 26 Jan 2017

Review of Gold (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 26 Jan 2017

It all (sort of) comes together by the end, but it's like a long con in which the grifter keeps losing the mark's attention…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Jason Zingale (478) for Bullz-Eye.com (1,091) on 26 Jan 2017

Shades of Scorsese ('The Wolf of Wall Street') and David O…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 26 Jan 2017

There’s really nothing else to say about Gold, beyond one general point: It is illustrative of what’s particularly fun about being a critic…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 26 Jan 2017

McConaughey has become one of the more interesting actors around, someone whose next role is always worth checking out…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 26 Jan 2017

Buoyed by McConaughey's unabashedly way-out performance, the result is sporadically amusing but inconsistent and, in the end, unsatisfying…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Jan 2017

His latest film, Gold, directed by Stephen Gaghan, is his most extreme character work yet, with him playing a balding, paunchy, cigarette chomping…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Calvin Wilson (480) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 26 Jan 2017

Inspired by a true story, Gold is a major disappointment — a film of admirable ambition but woefully underwhelming execution…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Steve Persall (1,105) for Tampa Bay Times (1,287) on 26 Jan 2017

Gold isn't a bad movie, just lifeless except for McConaughey…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 25 Jan 2017

Review of Gold (2016)
