The trouble is that Plummer's performance, which is unapologetic and deliciously mean, overshadows all the others.

For a time this movie will probably be best known for the behind-the-scenes drama. But the work itself deserves to endure as one of the better films of 2017.

[A] valid, fact-filled and invigorating movie ...

All the Money in the World ultimately ends up feeling like a curio, albeit one with hints of something much grander hiding behind those Getty Estate walls.

With the pulsing rhythm of an action thriller and the dank core of a classic film noir, All the Money in the World is terrific entertainment that packs a philosophical punch.

A better title might have been "All the Movies in the World." We get a thriller, of sorts, and a crime movie, of sorts (Romain Duris, as a kidnapper, gives the most appealing performance). It's also a morality tale crossed with family melodrama.

Plummer delivers brilliance in what had to be record time, and every person sharing a scene with Plummer - Michelle Williams and Mark Wahlberg, in particular - comes in fresh and spontaneous, responding anew to another actor's completely different energy.
