About

You may like Gold if you enjoy treasure-hunt plots and rags-to-riches momentum with an adventurous setting, but Not for you if you want a consistently fast pace or a straightforward, satisfying story arc like Jungle or The Mosquito Coast.

Pros: strong lead performance; lush Indonesia settings; treasure-hunt energy | Cons: slow, lengthy early stretch; uneven storytelling; greed-driven woes
