All the Money in the World

When 16-year-old grandson John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer) of cynical, egotistical, miserly oil tycoon J. Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer) is kidnapped on July 10, 1973, in Rome in this intense, poignant, factually inspired, suspenseful, 132-minute Ridley Scott film dominated by superb acting and cinematography and based on John Pearson's novel, his distraught mother (Michelle Williams), who had divorced her drunken husband (Andrew Buchan) with only child support payments, is helped by a former CIA agent (Mark Wahlberg) to find and negotiate her son's release from the Calabrian kidnappers (Roman Duris, et al.) after her former father-in-law refuses to pay the $17-million ransom.
