Lust for Gold: A Race Against Time

I like the movie showed the raw footage of ups and downs of the dutchman gold. Best layed plans to go on the hunt can be ruined by one knotheaded person in the hunting party. Sad this happens but I think the heat and exhaustion play a big part why some people lose it and point fingers of blame as soon as nothing is found. Funniest part is when one guy accused the other ( I think. Bill K ) guy of digging. Up a planted shell casing, such a classic accusation I laughed my ass.off lol. But very intriguing and thought provoking as I have watch a lot of TV shows about superstition mountain.

There were some aspects of the movie I really liked, especially the quirkiness of some characters and the fact that the movie was not dragged too much or the scenes weren't overdone. I think the storyline and the journey could have been better.

Old, mostly very unfit and overweight males walking ( stumbling) across an Arizona desert. A lot of sitting around a bar having some "beverages" sounding like graduating from middle school was a challenge. Digging a few holes making local critters happy that they don't have to do such mindless tasks. End of story.

There were some elements of this movie that I liked, especially the quirk, but on how they show their journey, I thought the film could do better on that..overall I'm glad the adventure has not been overdone and I recommend a one time watch.

I like quirky. But when it is forced and artificial, without any irony, it is just an awful pretense. And that is the sense one gets with this semi-mocumentary.

And I mean the upshilling by single use accounts, giving this a 9 or 10, is desperate.
