Burning Money Reviews

A beautifully realized, fevered and smart retelling of an actual robbery that went very amiss back in sixties' Argentina.

| Sep 14, 2012

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 4, 2005

O ritmo irregular e as grficas cenas entre os dois protagonistas incomodam um pouco, mas o filme tem seus momentos interessantes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2003

Those who hang in for the long haul are rewarded with a sexy, moving love story.

Full Review | Sep 30, 2002

It's a soap opera strewn with bullet casings.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 13, 2002

A sexy, intense crime thriller from Argentina.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jun 7, 2002

Its highlight comes in a cunning series of cuts that fade between fellatio performed at gunpoint with genuflection at the foot of a crucifix.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 18, 2002

Directed with enough (borrowed) style by Marcelo Pineyro that we barely notice its lack of original ideas.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 15, 2002

'Burnt Money'=wasted time...a Tarentino ripoff played at half-speed.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 4, 2002

Pieyro's solution for every predictable plot advancement and character relationship is a lot of frantic arm-waving, as though to insist, 'But these gangsters are gay!'

| Mar 2, 2002

With flavorful acting, direction and cinematography, Burnt Money touches on emotions universal to any relationship.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Feb 28, 2002

Well worth seeing if you have even the slightest interest in guns and sex and the interplay between the two (and who doesn't?).

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 10, 2002

The twins -- ragged, cool-eyed and inseparable -- are this movie's swinging stopwatch, mesmerizing the viewer with the fierce back-and-forth of their romance.

| Dec 21, 2001

... a tidy, well-acted little gem.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 21, 2001

A guilty pleasure teeming with enough straight and gay sex, nudity, sweat and violence to please any cult film enthusiast.

| Dec 20, 2001

[Pieyro] carefully builds unreleased sexual tensions, heat, thickness and boredom to make the movie's otherwise slow-moving centerpiece pulsate.

| Dec 14, 2001

A sexy, mildly entertaining import.

| Dec 14, 2001

Pieyro ... meticulously keeps pumping the tension until it's no longer a question of what's going to happen, but when.

| Nov 30, 2001

Are we any the wiser at the end of this exercise in beautiful, messed-up nihilism? Not a bit. Could we stop watching? Not for a moment.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 30, 2001

Burnt Money is all noirish and atmospheric and edgy to look at, but the mixture of crime and intense love doesn't meld.
