Directed by Stephen Gaghan, who directed the much better SYRIANA, I enjoyed GOLD. It's not a home run. McConaughey, as he did in THE SEA OF TREES, attempts to accentuate his vulnerability, and the performance ends up being a little "in between," as are parts of the script. But there's an interesting intersection here between good old fashioned gold fever and Wall Street high finance. The narrative chugs along and Edgar Ramirez (who played Roberto Duran in HANDS OF STONE) is good.
