All the Money in the World Review

All the Money in the World is a great movie. This movie is about the true story kidnapping of John Paul Getty III and his mother's mission to convince their grandfather to pay the ransom. This movie has been shrouded in controversy as this movie originally starred Kevin Spacey and was replaced with Christopher Plummer at the last minute after allegations came out against Spacey. So let's get this out the way. Other than one scene with the noticeable green screen, you would have no clue he was replaced last minute. Christopher Plummer does give a fantastic performance as the grandfather. Michele Williams gives an incredible Oscar-worthy performance that will sadly get overlooked. Mark Wahlberg proves yet again that he can be a great actor when he wants to be as he also gives a great performance. As for flaws, the first act of this movie is slow and very flashback heavy. This could occasionally get very confusing. However, during the second and third acts I was holding my breath the entire time due to how suspenseful and intense it was. Overall, All the Money in the World is a fantastic movie that I highly recommend.
9/10
