Alien at the Movies

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

Crazy kidnapping, desperate mother, & rich miser... Oh my!

Inspired by true events, it's July of 1973 when the grandson of oil baron J. Paul Getty is kidnapped from the streets of Rome. His mom Abigail Getty (Michelle Williams) doesn't have the money to pay the ransom & grandpa Getty (Christopher Plummer) refuses to pay a cent. Ex-CIA agent Fletcher Chace (Mark Wahlberg) is hired to investigate & to bring young Paul back home. It is a gripping kidnapping story, a mom's worst nightmare, & a fascinating insight to the richest man in the world at the time. Williams & Plummer give outstanding performances. Interesting note: director Ridley Scott took just 9 days of reshoots to replace disgraced Kevin Spacey as senior Getty. 

Alien gives it 3½ "Cinquanta" stars out of 4.
