So I've seen All the Money in the World

I really liked it. One of Ridley Scott's better films. Historically not 100% accurate but it still makes a very tense and exciting family/hostage drama. Of course the film became famous because of the last minute Christopher Plummer replacement when all of Kevin Spacey's scenes were reshoot. This proved as one of the films best decisions, because Plummer delivers a fabulous performance as family patriarch Juan Paul Getty. Perfect cast and absolutely standout. Also Michelle Williams deserves way more credit than she received for her heartbreaking performance as the mother who tries everything to get her son released. A great character for Williams where she could soak her teeth in and give a very individual face to it. Great work. Mark Wahlberg was the weakest of the trio but by far not as bad as many make him out to be. I actually think his performance was quite well. Charlie Plummer as the hostage victim John Paul Getty III was okay but sometimes a bit annoying. His counterpart Romain Duris stole evey scene they shared. The film was very well crafted, had a very controled direction. Not over the top and not over styled. It had a good score and nice cinematography. Very good and entertaining history lesson.
