A thought-provoking morality play about the value of money.

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.

This is a crime drama, combined with a family drama and a comedy of errors. It is amazing that Getty survived this mistake-ridden ransom scheme. It is a lot more complex and interesting than I thought it would be.

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.

Mark Wahlberg is its only under-par member but both Plummers are on the money, while Williams works wonders with her one-note role. Then there's 80-year-old Scott's nimble direction.

Plummer is extraordinary in the role -- even more extraordinary given the restrictions he was working under.

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.

Works best, not as a true-crime kidnap thriller, but as yet another reminder - always timely, and particularly now, as billionaires buy political capital - that all the money in the world can't make you happy, and will probably make you an ass.

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