Review
In
this old-timers' fest, Ridley Scott (80) and Christopher Plummer
(87) display their impressive workmanship. The film, about the much
publicized abduction of big-money heir John Paul Getty III back in
1973, is directed matter-of-factly by Scott, albeit with a slight
bias towards J. Paul Getty, who is portrayed as a simple villain
despite Plummer's best efforts. All the Money in the World is
an intriguing, well-documented study that works well on a
superficial level, but that lacks the emotional and dramatic depth
which could have made this a truly harrowing watch.
