When two men find the largest gold nugget, all they have to do is figure out how to dig it up.
Gold 4K ReviewAccolades to Zac and the crew for enduring such a project set in the harsh barren landscape of a dystopian world (mainly the Aussie dessert outback), where even Bear Grylls would not have survived. How they managed such a shoot had me more intrigued than the movie itself.
The story could have been told in short form, but we had to endure a whole feature to watch Zac go loony just for a chuck of gold; the mother lode that will not part from the earth. But still I was intrigued in observing mental disintegration under the scorching sun with pesky flies and a scorpion for companion. Not to forget those hungry wild dogs waiting for some human burger.
Still, hats off to Zac Efron who gave the performance of his life. One of his best, without having to say much (thanks to the post-apocalyptic make-up). To top it all off was the effective cinematography that really got into the sunburnt mind of the protagonist. Maybe next time he will not forget the sunscreen cream.
