Todd McCarthy (The Hollywood Reporter)Twilight years?
Peter Bradshaw (The Guardian)Plummer doesnt look like a hasty replacement.
He relishes and luxuriates in the role.
It fits him perfectly.
So much so its impossible to imagine Spacey doing as good a turn under mounds of his prosthetic makeup.
Plummers scenes with co-star Michelle Williams delivering another strong, understated performance are worth the price of admission.
The six-month case that captivated the world would have been good enough without a messy, over-the-top climactic chase.
Mark Wahlberg plays an ex-CIA agent turned Getty fixer as a cerebral action hero straight out of central casting.
And good luck being able to pick out any of the nondescript villains out of a lineup.
Plummer gives no quarter and Scott rarely, if ever, bothers to humanize him.
Michelle Williams is also striking as the despairing mother living inside her own horror movie subplot.
When Williams first steps into the Getty mansion, thats when the film truly begins.
