Mick LaSalle

Dec 27, 2017

It’s as realized a thriller as you are likely to find, not only in the precision of its performances, but in its evocative use of location (Rome, London), its period detail (especially Williams’ clothing) and the tension of the younger Getty’s months-long captivity. Read full review

For a time this movie will probably be best known for the behind-the-scenes drama. But the work itself deserves to endure as one of the better films of 2017. Read full review

Dec 20, 2017

The film shows—and says plainly, at one point—that people with extreme wealth are so divorced from reality that they become almost another species. Yet it doesn’t fully explore the weirdness of that, the chilling tragedy of it. Instead, Scott has made simply a competent thriller that dazzles only in the ingeniousness of its lightning-quick and proficient re-staging. Read full review

William Bibbiani

Dec 21, 2017

At its best, All the Money in the World is a rich and exciting story about a woman trapped in a universe of apathetic and powerful men, fighting her way out any which way she can. At its worst it’s a well-shot but ultimately middling thriller. Read full review

Peter Rainer

At 88, Christopher is at the top of his game. He turns Getty into a dastardly miser with an aggrieved core. There hasn’t been such a lonely mogul in the movies since Orson Welles’s Charles Foster Kane expired with “Rosebud” on his lips. Read full review

Henry Stewart

As released, All the Money in the World is by and large a conspicuously manufactured thriller that moves between manipulative psych-outs. Read full review

This film stands a testament to Ridley Scott's masterwork as a filmmaker.

When I heard of Spacey being replaced, and only doing a nine day re-shoot I had assumed that Spacey was there just in a scene or two. Though, my gosh I was wrong. Plummer was there 40% of the running time. Not only that, Plummer chewed the scenery to the extent I understood why Scott wanted Plummer for the role of Getty in the first place. All three co-leads gave impressive performances. People should go and watch it just for that, especially aspiring filmmakers who might find themselves in a dire situation with a project and see what can be done when someone is proactive and wanting to save their picture.… Expand

It's even boring in some parts, I guess I was looking for something more absorbing, more attractive and entertaining. During the whole duration I felt like something was missing, a crucial turning point. I felt it like a tamed film, where everything is on point but nothing is memorable. Not a setback for Ridley Scott at all but he definitively can do a lot better. Also I cannot say if Kevin Spacey would've make a difference but Christopher Plummer did a pretty good job.… Expand

Mark Wahlberg seemed miscast in this but Christopher Plummer and the rest of the cast seemed to be just fine.

In many scenes, it did seem like they digitally edited in Christopher Plummer and you could tell by watching the film. In all fairness, I couldn't see Kevin Spacey doing this roll as well as he did but that type of effect detracted from what was otherwise a decent movie. Still, after seeing this film, it made more sense why the Getty gas stations around here have equipment that hasn't been upgraded in about 25 years.... But it also reminded me of my father who when he was younger would make a lot of money but yet would never really spend it except to give it in taxes to the government. This was on another level but that kind of logic always escaped me and as his daughter in law stated in the movie, "what's the point of having all this money if you're not going to spend it?" All that she had to go through because he would rather buy paintings and houses worth millions instead of saving his grandson.… Expand

The kidnapping of John Paul Getty’s grandson, J. Paul Getty lll is a rousing story, but it’s stifled by the bland, oppressively bleak, and muted cinematography of Dariusz Wolski. Getty’s estate is drenched in muddled and grainy blacks, much like his frugal soul. But the adherence to such a palette begins to wear on the viewer far before the meandering story concludes. With three time-jumps in the first twenty minutes, this is a story fixated on the journey of a Getty. From childhood, to confused and naïve middle years, to the final confident posture and astuteness of a tried a true Getty. It’s this intention, to span the mental and physical lifetime of a Getty, that ultimately drags the film into mediocrity. While the technicalities fall short, the acting is superb. It is impossible not to praise Christopher Plummer (J. Paul Getty) and Michelle Williams (Gail Harris) performances. With both displaying confidence, deep-seeded spite, and authority in every scene. Mark Walberg (Fletcher Chase) trails just behind, spending the film attempting to convince the audience he’s disappeared into his character only to break the illusion in the end with an unmistakably Walberg, verbal tirade. Romain Druis as Cinquanta also delivers in spades, masterfully pulling off the clichéd parental kidnapper with realism. Ultimately, this is a film that demands focus on the actors. If you look anywhere else, hear anything else but the dialogue, you’ll be sorely disappointed. With a tighter pace, some color saturation, and some desperately needed restraint from the score of the film, “All the Money in the World” could have been a rousing feature. Instead it drifts by, with the one memorable scene already claimed by Van Gogh.… Expand

Unbelievable how they messed this one up, I was lucky enough to have seen the series “ Trust” which breaks down the story of the kidnpaping and All the characters to the T, and very close to how the actual events happened in real life.

I figured the movie maybe exciting...it was nothing than a bore! I thought Michelle Williams was horrible and over acted, Mark Wallburg did very little acting, the kidnapped kid, did nothing....the whole movie is sooo boring I fell asleep but was angry that the eviews here were so high that made me watch the movie. I hope to save minutes in your life by warning you about how bad this was. I gave it a one cuz I like Christophe Plummer.… Expand
