Gold

Such a shame for a film produced here in Australia. Poor narrative, poor production design and poorer cinematography. The colour grading of this film aka the desaturation looks cheap which underpins a stench of desperate film making. Be warned, this is 90mins you'll never get back and you'll start looking at your phone inside the first 10mins. Truly.

I watch a LOT of movies. This is the worst I've seen in a VERY long time. I don't have words for how bad it is. I've never even left a review for a movie before. I hope this saves someone. For the love of god, don't waste your time on this movie.

1 hour 40 dragged like it was 3 hours or more. How any major actors would consider doing a film like this is beyond me and I have worked in the entertainment industry for over 40 years. First of all the opening scene shows vultures in a tree, so, there are NO vultures in Australia unless I have been blind all my life. One review on here mentions coyotes, there are NO coyotes here either. The dogs who attack the camp are like nothing I have ever seen or heard of here. If there are dogs like that they would certainly not be left to roan near a compound which I am presuming is a mining compound he was heading for. Dingos certainly roam the outback but nothing looks like these wild dogs. For a while I thought the story may be set in the USA but then I noticed there were driving in a right hand drive vehicle. As for the sand storm scene, Efron's character gets a tree branch in his right side, a scene later it's in his left side, then it returns to his right side and when he tries to stop the blood it's in the left side again. How could the Director allow such a major error as this to be in the final print? Zac Efron, this movie and your atrocious makeup puts you at the bottom of the barrel in film making. What happened to that excellent star from The Greatest Showman?

Watching over a chunky mountain of gold in the australian desert outback country. A twisted story about greed and gloathing gold like king midas of the past. Hot sun and delirious minds, its litterary gold fever. A small cast survival thriller, a story that desmond bagley wouldve chuckled over and wilbur smith would nod about. The production shows the harsh dried out hell of australian desertlife, where the flies are kings and the snake and scorpions are the warriors. Neatly filmed and acted, the makeup squad gone bananas, and most stuff stashed like a good ol' madmax stage. If youre able to sit and wait for things to happen, youll be rewarded, i did. A small recommend from the grumpy old man.
