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

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

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

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

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

The film does have a certain visceral power, thanks to the striking, music video-style visuals.

Full Review | Nov 7, 2001

A bravura work that attests to Pineyro's command of a style rich in texture and nuance and also of multilayered material.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 2, 2001

These characters exist without motive, but they pulse with a despairing, intensely erotic energy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 19, 2001

Burnt Money has a stylish look and a fair amount of hot and heavy sex (mostly hetero), and the final shootout is pretty nifty.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 19, 2001

The film itself is caked with voice-over directives -- we're actually told, for instance, what Angel and Nene look like at the very moment they're in celestially lit close-up.
