“Gold” (** out of four) was a torpid melodrama about two sand-diggers (Zac Efron and Anthony Hayes) who find a huge nugget of gold in the middle of a desert; problem is they have no idea how to excavate it which leads to a flurry of personal/physical complications as they both grapple with the means of survival and greed. Holds your attention for a while with it’s nice cinematography and eerie music score but story is fairly one-note and never really takes off. Efron and Hayes do what they can as they try to hold together a two-piece character story but I doubt either are going to find “gold” in them thar hills with this.
