Love and betrayal complicate a robbery gone wrong in this offbeat crime thriller shot in Argentina.

It's a soap opera strewn with bullet casings.
A sexy, intense crime thriller from Argentina.
Directed with enough (borrowed) style by Marcelo Pineyro that we barely notice its lack of original ideas.
With flavorful acting, direction and cinematography, Burnt Money touches on emotions universal to any relationship.
A sexy, mildly entertaining import.
Piñeyro ... meticulously keeps pumping the tension until it's no longer a question of what's going to happen, but when.
O ritmo irregular e as gráficas 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.
Its highlight comes in a cunning series of cuts that fade between fellatio performed at gunpoint with genuflection at the foot of a crucifix.
'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!'
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 tidy, well-acted little gem.
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.
A movie about waiting. Doesn't sound too interesting, but when you have well written characters, their interactions become action. This is the story of a heist that goes a little awry. The gang must then hideout. This sounds easier than it is, as fingers begin to point at a setup, and a couple begin to drift apart.

I watched Burt Money a while back, and now reviewing it, the first thing that came to mind is that the subtitles were censored. I realize that is irrelevant and random, but I have never came across that before. Plus, it was a really half-assed job. They were just sort of blurred - like nudity on television - so, they
