Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

aprilmike-51991 Mr Sutherland is in exceptional form as is Brendan Fraser.Just love his head of security role he plays, and no mindless screaming in site! That do's not mean the rest of the cast are not as they are also a pleasure to watch. The split screen for me didn't work in the 70's and is no better here, how ever it gives the whole show that 70's feel and works well. Haven't seen it all yet but will wait with keen anticipation for the next episode.

SkyPowers Perhaps they heeded my advice about the non-linear editing? The last episodes were linear thank G. I agree with previous posts it was too long. Too arty self-indulgent. The euphemism is "Like watching a train wreck. Tragic but you just can't turn away." This miniseries was an exercise in masochism with sadism thrown in. So perhaps Rome was the ideal setting. Kudos to Sutherland, the rock that held this together. Few characters I've seen engendered more hate in me, knowing he was portraying such an evil person who actually existed. No wonder the kid was F-ed up. Swank was fantastic as the alarmed loving mother. At the end of the final teaser I was tempted to see if he really died or not. Yay! Getty senior finally admits he was wrong! I did get emotional in the final scene during that sustained rapturous hug. So raising my rating from 5 to 7 since the non-linear editing was only abusive in that one episode.

andrei_mih2013 The release of this mini series is to late.....the movie "All the Money in the World" (with Christopher Plummer as John Getti) is already on the big screens....the exact same story, based on real events.....

helenahandbasket-93734 From the very outset, this chilling portrait of a family in turmoil grabs the viewer by the throat and forces you to walk through the foray of penultimate storytelling at the hands of Beaufoy, beautifully crafted by the vision of Boyle. From Sutherland's seething view of J Paul, to the brilliant characterization of Brendan Frazer, this series proves to be everything the big screen version couldn't live up to; riveting abridgment that seems intent to begin a slowburn with ample kindling and fierce fuel. It's high time we acknowledge the ability of fabulous craftsmen to tell a vivid portrayal just as spectacularly on the small screen as that of the theater screen.This looks to be a wild and entrancing ride that I very much look forward to viewing. My only regret is that this is not available for binging and we must endure a weekly wait for the next installment.
