Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
I liked this movie very well. It clearly indicates that there are skilled people both in front and behind the camera. In review I read before I saw it, Christopher Plummer's efforts are drawn to be superb. I agree that he is good at the role of the ice-cold Getty, as the film portrays as a brutal and highly calculating person. The money controls everything.But my personal favorite is Michelle Williams as his daughter in law. Once again she takes a key role in a very good way, giving the film both credibility and lifting it with her efforts. Williams is best in scenes with just her father-in-law and his people. She is good as a mother who does everything for her child, but at the same time tackles the raw circumstances she has to fight.Read the least before you see this one. The action is known, as it is based on a true story. The story of the film is therefore quite slow. Instead, we get underlying stories that tell more about the people involved. This makes an interpreter that sees and strengthens the film, in my opinion. The movie is good, so I do not understand the bad reviews.
*** WARNING SPOILERS *** This is a good movie from the capable hand of Ridley Scott. Watching this movie I'm pleasantly surprised that Hollywood can still make good movies like this. Also I was very impressed by the acting of Michelle williams as Gail Harris as the mother trying to rescue her son. Mark Wahlberg character who becomes disgusted at his boss J Paul Getty and Christopher Plummer as the cold hearted Evil selfish scrooge like American billionaire corporation head J Paul Getty. The ending of the movie was memorable when the good hearted and kind Gail Harris as a Getty inherits the vast fortune as she looks at the bust of J Paul Getty the revulsion on her face at the bust as she realises what a cold, evil and selfish man J Paul Getty was. In other words a classic wealthy Elitist. Don't we see many of that type in today's world as big banker and big company heads. Watch this movie a big stand out is the American actress Michelle Williams as Gail Harris. Great acting performance and all concerned in this movie with excellent direction from Ridley Scott.
Poor casting, a disappointing screenplay, dreadful sound quality and bad structure all helped to make watching this film an ordeal. The acting was unremarkable, Christopher Plummer's make-up made him look like a monster, Mark Wahlberg under-acted and the rest of the cast's performances were pretty forgettable. The Getty kidnapping was a loathsome event and provides brilliant potential for a gripping thriller. But that film has yet to be made.
I hated this film. Michelle Williams butchered it. She was awful. It was hard to get through for me. It was boring and doesn't keep your attention. The kid was also stupid. Just bad acting I thought.
