A humorous take on The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/13/13 Full Review ashley h The Nugget is an excellent film. It is about how instant wealth suddenly changes the lives of three working class men. Eric Bana and Stephen Curry give amazing performances. The script is enjoyable but a little slow in places.
