Movie Reviews of Gold
Movie Review: Underground Adventure Will Rock You
Summary: 5 Stars
Roger Moore and Susannah York will rock you in GOLD. Go underground, way underground in this outstanding adventure romance film from director Peter Hunt. Roger Moore gives one of his best performances in a well defined and charismatic character and he truly demonstrates more depth as an actor than he has been given credit. Moore makes this film work. Also, Bradford Dillman turns in a very villainous performance and Ray Milland at this point in his career had the corner playing grumpy old men. Stanley Price's screenplay is full of energy and emotion and it has gone unrecognized long enough. Elmer Bernstein's score is dynamic and well suited to the characters and action that unfolds and it certainly compliment s the excellent performances and Stanley Price's screenplay. GOLD rocks!
Movie Review: Good Action Film with Depth
Summary: 5 Stars
GOLD is an oustanding film directed by Peter Hunt. It is rich with characters, plot and raw energy and emotion. This film contains one of Roger Moore's best performances. Elmer Bernstein's score is one of his best. The entire cast is first rate. On the down side the DVD print of this very good character based adventure is less than good and that is being kind. This is an outstanding film just the same. The plot to flood a huge gold mine in South Africa to increase the value of othere gold reserves is well done.Movie Review: Great movie...pity about the DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie made by former Bond director Peter (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) Hunt and starring then 007 Roger Moore has all the hallmarks of a great fun action thriller. Yet, the action doesn't seem to truly pick up until the latter part of the movie when things start to go terribly wrong in a South African gold mine.The plot - for what it's worth - revolves around plans to increase the value of gold stocks by flooding a gold mine in Africa, and the machinations employed to keep the manager of the mine (played by Moore) suitably distracted and away from the location to allow the villains plot to succeed.
A great cast supports Moore in this piece including Susannah York and Sir John Gielgud and it moves at a fair pace. The troubling aspect about this movie (and the reason I give it only four stars) is the poor treatment that has been afforded the picture on the DVD - it really does deserve to be redone and remastered.
Movie Review: Good action movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Above average film for the time. The acting is also ok for the time period. As far as being an action/thriller, things don't heat up until the last half of the movie. The DVD transfer has to be the worst I have ever seen. Nothing has been retouched and the color changes at times.Movie Review: Excellent film--horrible dvd
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an excellent film, well woth seeing. The dvd is probably the worst technically I have ever seen. Colors shift, focus drifts, I cannot understand how anyone could make such a miserable copy and then have the nerve to sell it without labeling it "SUBSTANDARD".
