When two gay thugs Angel (Eduardo Noriega) and El Nene (Leonardo Sbaraglia) join a plan to hold up an armored truck with a group of seasoned gangsters, their love and loyalty to each other is tested. Angel is wounded by police gunfire during the robbery, forcing El Nene to kill them all in a fit of rage. Things become complicated when they escape to Uruguay and the police threaten to torture the driver's moll if she doesn't tell them where they are. With their pictures plastered on the cover of every paper, drowning in drugs and alcohol, the gang begins to bicker. Against his boss's wishes El Nene leaves the apartment and roams the streets where he meets a prostitute named Giselle (Leticia Bredice) in whom he begins to trust. Director Marcelo Piñeyro, whose films have been both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, is one of the most important figures in contemporary cinema in Argentina. His fourth film is a delicate balance of a gripping bloodbath and a moving, tender love story. BURNT MONEY is based on a book by Ricardo Piglia and was inspired by a true story of a famous bank robbery in Buenos Aires in the 1960s. This film was screened in April 2001 at the Walter Reade Theater in New York City as part of a New Argentine Cinema festival organized by the Film Society of Lincoln Center. [More]

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

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

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

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

Piñeyro'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?).

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

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