All The Money In The World

All the Money in the World follows the kidnapping of 16-year- old John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer) and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother Gail (Michelle Williams) to convince his billionaire grandfather (Christopher Plummer) to pay the ransom. When Getty Sr. refuses, Gail attempts to sway him as her son’s captors become increasingly volatile and brutal. With her son’s life in the balance, Gail and Getty’s advisor (Mark Wahlberg) become unlikely allies in the race against time that ultimately reveals the true and lasting value of love over money. 


This was one hell of a twisted "true" story.  There were so many different emotions at play.  The grandfather being obsessed with money.  The mother willing to do anything.  The kid being scared.  Even the kidnappers covered all different kinds of angles of looking at what they were doing.  This was very well told and played from beginning to end with the audience hooked on where it was going.  As for the controversy about this movie - the removal and reshooting of Chrisopher Plummer taking over for Kevin Spacey ended up being awesome because there is no way that Kevin Spacey could have been as good in that role.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a hell of a story and a very entertaining watch.
