Burnt Money Reviews
A Must See!
Don't be enticed or repelled by "Plata Quemada" because you think it is a "gay film". It is an intense crime drama that happens to feature a "Clyde & Clyde"---and a Bonnie---relationship. Many may be pleased with the unique potrayal of the homosexual relationship (which is not explicit) between the two main characters, but the relationship would be just as compelling if it were heterosexual. "Plata Quemada" is a thoughtful true story of a group of hardcore criminals with an endearingly human and vulnerable side. You will be rooting for the bad guys!
Burnt Money - one of the 10 best films of the new millenium
Plata Quemada, i.e. Burnt Money, is one of the 10 best films of the new millenium. The other reviewers are absolutely right, Hollywood has nothing on Argentina. Many of Argentina's films surpass Hollywood films far and wide. Plata Quemada has become my absolute favorite film. I have seen this film probably 50 times since I first bought it (and I'm not kidding!) and that is not something I usually do. All of the main characters, "Nene, Cuervo, and Angel" are imbedded in my memory banks. In fact, after watching this film so many times, I decided to watch other films by the main actors, Lenoardo Sbaraglia (Nene), Eduardo Noriega II (Angel), and Pablo Echarri (Cuervo), and I pleasantly found that their other films are quite good as well. These men are very good, talented actors, not just pretty faces, in virtually all of their films. The director Marcelo Pinyero is also quite good. I've seen a few of his films. Plata Quemada is the icing on the cake though for the actors and the director. This will be a diamond in the story of their careers for the rest of their lives. They should be very proud. They definitely won me. I am a loyal fan for life!!
