Summary: i am sick-n-tired of sick and tired.
Comment: why are so many "gay" flicks about sickos? can ANYONE answer that question? this is NOT a gay flick: it is a flick about two very strange men who have some kind of relationship with each other (if it's "love" it is a very strange version of it). the only intimacy is heterosexual in nature; this is a "gay" movie? i wonder if the two leads, especially noriega, couldn't handle doing physically intimate scenes with another man (in this flick, at any rate) -- have a felling noriega might think it would ruin his career as one of the leading heart-throbs of spain. ah, well. . . yet another disappointing portrait of "gay" men.

Summary: Fantastic!
Comment: I watched this movie first on TV, and fell in love with it! I bought the DVD the next day and have since watched it three more times. It is romantic and tragic, as well as action packed. The lead actors are terrific. This is a "must see" movie!

Summary: thought this movie would never end
Comment: At the risk of oversimplifying, this was kinda like a gay version of Bonnie and Clyde. *Burnt Money* is about a gay couple involved in a botched bank robbery in Argentina in 1965. They escaped to Uruguay where their relationship unraveled and where the police caught up with them.
One main problem about this movie was that it dragged on endlessly. One has some kind of mental issue going on. The other is somewhat of a sex addict or rather he seeks thrills, despite the fact he's supposed to be in hiding. And with the traditional machismo thing going on among Latino men, these two men just cannot be comfortable with each other.
When things come to an end, that is, when the police trapped them, they reconnect and renew their love for each other.
Overall, a disappointing film!
Customer Rating:
Summary: neo-noir with vulnerability
Comment: 'Burnt Money' has the familiar scaffolding of the botched heist but it is really more interested in relationship drama - but on an archetypical scale, and all of it done in a languid, elegiac, chiaroscuro, and yet, stiflingly hothouse and tango mood. The cinematography is lush and dark and grimy and gorgeous. And it's clear from the language of the voiceover narration, the characters' nicknames, the religious iconography (especially pietà & crucifix), and that the movie is divided into 'chapters,' that it is also a structured tale, despite its true-crime inspiration. Not a morality tale, more like a ballad... El Nene (the baby) embodies the cool, smart, protective antihero, while Ángel is his naïve, mad-saintly emotional core, and that pairing itself of the Twins also echoes many 'buddy' tropes...
But despite the stylized/symbolic distance, there is so much intimacy in this movie it hurts. The chemistry between the two leads is insanely intense and fragile and beautiful. But not sentimental. Or histrionic. The movie and its emotions are violent and with a certain degree of romanticization but the exchanges between the Twins are so 'real' that it's as if it weren't acting... Sbaraglia especially is good at packing intense love and devotion, frustration, and everything else into a mere look. Kinda makes you wish you were the recipient of that look - or even of the pitying consolation that he gives to Giselle. OMG, the lost years from having known/seen this only recently! OK, enough gushing. It's just hella amazing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: dazzling!
Comment: Perhaps this is the most unforgettable film I have ever seen;
the performances (most especially by the twins--Noriega/Sbaraglia)
are simply mesmerizing. The story is unusual and beautiful and exciting--
so snatch it!
