About This Movie

In Gold We Trust is a curious blend of action, adventure, and drama that creates an odd atmosphere. You’ve got this group of commandos on a mission to snag some gold stored in a NASA capsule. The pacing feels a bit erratic, swinging from tense moments to campy banter amongst the troops. The standout is definitely the confrontations with the mercenaries, particularly the Communist Kristoff, who is a bit over the top but adds a layer of intrigue. The practical effects are interesting for this era, with some solid set pieces. Plus, the fact that they throw in a battalion of Japanese soldiers who aren’t aware WWII is over adds a unique twist. It’s one of those films that sticks with you for its bizarre concepts and execution.
