Movie tells the story of Kenny Wells (McConaughey), a modern-day prospector, hustler, and dreamer, desperate for a lucky break. Left with few options, Wells teams up with an equally luckless geologist to execute a grandiose, last-ditch effort: to find gold deep in the uncharted jungle of Indonesia. (StudioCanal UK)

I didn't think a movie with this title and Matthew in a similar role - mainly visually - could captivate me much, but in the end, it turned out that the story was wonderfully acted and presented with a pleasant sense of humor, so I just enjoyed myself. Not right from start to finish, but I certainly didn't mind watching it one bit. ()
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. ()
The film seemed utterly mediocre to me. I was only impressed by the performance of Matthew McConaughey, whom I don't like very much, but he was so sleazy this time that it was impossible not to notice him. I didn't care for his Kenny at first, but the longer I watched, the more interesting he got. I don’t think I’ll watch Gold again, but I'll remember Kenny for a long time. ()
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%. ()
