Set in Argentina in 1965, two gay lovers ultimately become ruthless bank robbers in a notoriously famous footnote in the annals of crime history. After a large-scale hold-up that turns bloody, the two men must flee. But, it’s not long before the police surround the building they are in, and they must confront their demons to survive.

New Times (L.A.) by David Ehrenstein
This isn't entertainment for the faint of heart.
San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann
A sexy, mildly entertaining import.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
What makes this one stand out is the tugging, melancholy romance hiding behind the curtain of blood.
Those who hang in for the long haul are rewarded with a sexy, moving love story.

Burnt Money arranges a triumphant martyrdom for its bad boys -- a redemptive blaze of glory, dozens of faceless corpses notwithstanding.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
It is a bravura work that attests to Pineyro's command of a style rich in texture and nuance and also of multilayered material.
Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
Well worth seeing if you have even the slightest interest in guns and sex and the interplay between the two (and who doesn't?), Burnt Money also has, you'll forgive the pun, style to burn.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Paula Nechak
Director Marcelo Pineyro imbues the film with mood and style and yet the violent climax holds little thrall as a lack of character development makes it had to care about the robbers' fate.
A stylish look and a fair amount of hot and heavy sex (mostly hetero), and the final shootout is pretty nifty.
Just anyone can let themselves into your dreams now...
