The Good Samaritans

[VeronicaFox]

I went to see "Gold" this past weekend. I truly enjoyed the saga of this American dreamer who was momentarily worth $4B before it all fell apart.

Unfortunately (at least for my interests) it was so loosely based on the Bre-X scandal that if you didn't know the story beforehand, it would most likely go over your head.

It was fun and enjoyable watching McConaughey though, he looked horrid for the role gaining 50 pounds and wearing some nasty looking teeth, but was extremely effective in the part. He's come a long way since he played Wooderson, the stoner in 'Dazed And Confused'.

On a scale of 0-4, I'd give 'Gold' a solid 2.5 stars.
