With his ever unshaven face and uncombed mop of hair, Rhys Ifans has the scruffy, washed up rocker look down pat. So it was about time he played one. Here he stars as Len, a former punkrocker turned successful music producer/complete asshole. After becoming disillusioned with the music business and running off during an awards show, he has holed up somewhere in the buttcrack of nowhere determined to take self-pity to a whole new level.

Gold tells the true story of Kenny Wells (Matthew McConaughey), a gold prospector who followed in the footsteps of both his father and grandfather. But unlike the men in his family that came before him, Kenny doesn’t have luck on his side. He runs the family business into the ground and is down to his last dollars. But then he decides to take one last chance and bets everything he has on a high-stakes mining operation in Indonesia run by geologist Michael Acosta (Edgar Ramirez). And guess what? They hit the motherlode.

If you had told me about Guardians of the Galaxy a couple of years ago, I would have thought it was a really bad band name. Like, German power metal bad.
