I was really looking forward to watching this movie. I thought: amazing true story, good cast, great director... It has to be great, right? WRONG!!!
I'm very disappointed! First of all, there was absolutely no need to change the story. This shouldn't have been a movie that was "inspired" by real events. Meaning, they should have stuck with the actual story, step by step. What happened to John Paul Getty III is absolutely astonishing! Why in the world would they change it is beyond me! The details that were left out of the movie and the things they added to it (that didn't really happen) only destroyed the story!
Second, this is not Mark Wahlberg's and Michelle Williams' best performances. Christopher Plummer and Charlie Plummer did a much better job.
Third, I didn't like the pace of the movie. It was slow and boring at parts.
All in all, it wasn't what I expected from a Ridley Scott movie! The only thing I really liked was the title of the movie because it is so true and accurate - all the money in the world couldn't saved this family.
This could and should have been a breathtaking movie!
