Set in the spring of 1945, just before the end of World War II. Elsa and Heinrich quickly realize that they have more in common than their common enemy. Both fight for justice, against the Nazis and for their families. Heinrich is looking for his daughter. But in Elsa's remote village, a Jewish treasure of gold is hidden that the Nazis want to plunder. An action-packed search for the treasure begins, villagers against the SS. The greed for the gold brings secrets to light and ends in a bloody showdown in the village church.

Blood and Gold could have had more promise, were it not for the weight of the usual, woke narratives. Turning ordinary German housewives and farm girls, into evil Nazi patriarchy, freedom fighters, with a cowgirl vibe, is not terribly plausible, when faced with battle hardened SS soldiers. Action wise, this flick its reasonable.There are well choreographed fight scenes, especially in the first half of the film. Acting is decent too and the main characterisations are reasonably well constructed, with believable motivations. In summary, a pervasive sense of implausibility, robs this film of the opportunity to represent anything, remotely close, to cinematic "gold". As it stands, its a moderate watch, with decent action to keep the viewer entertained, if you can look beyond its revisionist shortcomings.
