Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Raluca-buznea Besides being predictable this movie is very boring and Michelle Williams plays horribly! It's been quite a while since I saw an actor performing this poorly! I just very surprised she was put on a leading role with Mark Wahlberg and Christopher Plummer... very disappointing! I gave it a 4 instead of a 2 or 3 just because it is based on a true story and they couldn't change the subject too much.

Filmophile Poor casting, a disappointing screenplay, dreadful sound quality and bad structure all helped to make watching this film an ordeal. The acting was unremarkable, Christopher Plummer's make-up made him look like a monster, Mark Wahlberg under-acted and the rest of the cast's performances were pretty forgettable. The Getty kidnapping was a loathsome event and provides brilliant potential for a gripping thriller. But that film has yet to be made.

OneEightNine Media Mark Wahlberg is a joke of an actor and brings down everything he touches. It is pretty much an open secret that he can not handle being a lead in a picture. Because of the last minute reshoots and the Wahlberg factor, this film didn't have a chance. Shame too because this was a good source material.

SnoopyStyle It's 1973. One night, 16 year old John Paul Getty III is kidnapped off the streets of Rome. The kidnappers want $17 million. His mother Gail (Michelle Williams) has nothing. Her ex-husband is a drug addict but it's ex-father-in-law, Jean Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer), who is the richest man in the world. JPG is a ruthless oil baron and a penny pinching miser. He puts his fixer Fletcher Chase (Mark Wahlberg) on the case.This movie will always be more known for the controversy from Kevin Spacey as the original JPG. It's not a bad movie but it's not good enough to overtake the behind-the-scene scandal. Quite frankly, Christopher Plummer is a better choice for the role. He needs to be a Scrooge, powerful without the anger. Spacey would probably take it too far. Michelle Williams does solid work as always. She's that good. On the other hand, Wahlberg continues to insists on being the hero of piece which is very annoying. He takes it too far. In one scene, he confronts Getty and I actually felt bad for the bastard. He diminishes the picture. I also note that there is TV show about the same historical drama and I really like that show. This is solid work but the history of this movie will always start with the scandal.
