Were All the Money in the World a different movie, there would be a danger of the behind the scenes drama overshadowing the final film. Reshooting one of the main character's appearances with a different actor in little over a week surely counts as one of the most extraordinary developments in recent filmmaking history.It was worth it though. It's a taut absorbing thriller. Plummer's Getty is complex and monstrous. Williams stands out as Harris - treading a line between sheer desperation at her son's plight and her determination to ensure his safety. Only Wahlberg feels a bit underused although he does play a pivotal role towards the end of the drama.
Verdict: Money can't buy you happiness or safety, but it can get a superb piece of eleventh hour casting.
