All the Money in the World (2017)


IMDb plot summary: The story of the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother to convince his billionaire grandfather Jean Paul Getty to pay the ransom.
Directed by Ridley Scott. Starring Michelle Williams, Christopher Plummer, Mark Wahlberg, and Romain Duris.

This is more than a little heavy-handed in parts, but it's pretty solidly structured and Michelle Williams and Christopher Plummer anchor it with two great performances.

How it landed in my Flickchart:
All the Money in the World > Ghostbusters (1984)
All the Money in the World < Crossing Delancey
All the Money in the World < Camp
All the Money in the World > Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

All the Money in the World < Mrs. Miniver

All the Money in the World > Irma La Douce
All the Money in the World < The Woodsman

Final spot: #1125 out of 2835.
