Full reviewBen ‘Finn’ Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) is a surf-bum-turned-treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding the legendary Queen’s Dowry – 40 chests of exotic treasure that was lost at sea in 1715.

Full reviewFool's Gold is available to stream in Australia now on Netflix and Google Play and Apple TV and Foxtel and Binge.
