Now, it was somewhat difficult for me to initially believe that the 2022 movie "Big Gold Brick" from writer and director Brian Petsos would be worthy of such a low rating as it had received here on IMDb, especially with the somewhat rather impressive cast ensemble that starred in the movie.
However, I had never heard about "Big Gold Brick" prior to sitting down to watching it, so I wasn't sure what I was in for here. But I opted to give the movie a chance and watch it, believing that it couldn't possibly be all that much of a waste of time.
But yeah, the low rating that "Big Gold Brick" has received here on IMDb is well-placed. This movie was a swing and a miss in every aspect. The storyline was just a completely unappealing and uninteresting heap of boredom. And the slow pacing of the narrative just didn't help win me over in the slightest. So sitting through "Big Gold Brick" is quite an arduous task.
Still, I am impressed with the names that they managed to lure into participating in the creation of this rubbish movie. The movie was starring the likes of Andy Garcia, Oscar Isaac and Megan Fox. How and why they opted to be a part of "Big Gold Brick" simply is beyond my comprehension.
There was very little, if none at all actually, appeal in "Big Gold Brick" for me, so this is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time. Some of us suffered through Brian Petsos's 2022 movie so you don't have to.
I am going to add to the dwindling rating that "Big Gold Brick" has accumulated, and will rate it a generous three out of ten stars, and that is mostly just because of the names on the cast list. Sure, the movie had a good production value as well, but without an interesting storyline it just meant almost nothing. And running at 132 minutes, the movie desperately needed a more round-handed trim in the editing room.
