Fool's Gold (2008)
Treasure hunter Ben "Finn" Finnegan has sunk his marriage to Tess and his trusty boat in his obsessive quest to find the legendary Queen's Dowry. When he finds a vital clue that may finally pinpoint the treasure's whereabouts, he drags Tess and her boss, billionaire Nigel Honeycutt, along on the hunt. But Finn is not the only one interested in the gold; his former mentor-turned-enemy Moe Fitch, hired by rapper-turned-gangster Bigg Bunny, will stop at nothing to beat him to it.

Beautiful, moving film.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
I love this movie. First , it has some great actors Winstone, Sutherland, Kate . Second : the scenery is what I want for a vacation. Thirdly : the camera crew , hats off . Fourth : the script might be thin , but hey Bond movies are thinner and full of non logic and overblown scenes. Do I like movies from Pasolini, Kurosawa, Kitano etc ...yes I do. Do I like a good action packed movie or SF , yes I do . But recently Hollywood is failing in most departments and have to squeeze out Alien-craps,Transformer craps and most blockbusters are not worthy a view. In that retrospect this little movie was enjoyable.
A good movie for it's type. Similar to the movie 'Into the blue' but with better script. What I liked about this movie is the emotion that you get for history and love. A adventure film that focuses on trust and family. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are a good on screen couple and give clever performances that give you direct feelings.
A new clue to the whereabouts of a lost treasure rekindles a married couple's sense of adventure -- and their estranged romance. Fool's Gold is such a great underrated pop corn action comedy with an amazing final 3rd act where the adventure hits hard with people blown up and fights under the sea and to be honest i miss Matthew McConaughey like this he had more energy this days he looks like he stopped eating and he chooses all this weird roles that don't suit him well. The chemistry between him and Kate Hudson was also really great and the rest of the cast like Donald Sutherland and Ray Winstone did a great job as well if you're looking for a good film that you can sit back and enjoy Fool's Gold is the film for you.
I am somebody who liked a romantic comedy from time to time. Just like any other genre it has a few great movies in it. And this one also included adventure, so I thought it will be a great movie then. Unfortunately I was wrong.The movie is incredibly bad. It is boring, predictable, with bad acting and cliché characters.We have Tess, the usual woman who has a stick up her ass and doesn't enjoy fun and wants her husband to "grow up". There is Finn, the hot immature guy. The dumb girl who likes to shop. And they are all portrayed with horrible acting that makes it even harder to like them. I keep on seeing Matthew McConaughey always play this guy and always do it horribly, I have no idea why he keeps on getting these roles.The only good thing about the movie is the scenery. Sitting in cold Canada waiting for winter to end I enjoyed watching the sunny Caribbean.
