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

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

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

It's a soap opera strewn with bullet casings.

A sexy, intense crime thriller from Argentina.

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!'

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

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.

... 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.

A sexy, mildly entertaining import.

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

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.

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