An interesting if not somewhat dull take on the Klondike adventure yarn. Without the adventure. A band of immigrants led by a questionable prospector (Peter Kurth) who claims he knows the best route to the gold. Various mishaps follow but very little of it exciting or interesting and consequently the film plods along at a snail's pace. Two good things here- some very seasoned actors doing what they do best and the cinematography. The music seems to want to copy Neil Young's score for Dead Man with some guitarist playing the same chord and then distorting it in various ways- it does not work. Worth at least one watch and I would like to see the German version sometime w English subtitles to get the full nuances of the actor's voices which is seriously lost in a very monotonous dubbing track. English version currently streaming on Tubi, link below. 2.5 stars/5
Gold (2013)
A gripping tale of greed and survival in pursuit of the American dream as a 19th century team of German gold prospectors are stalked by killers.
