Burnt Money(Plata quemada)

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

The passions of "Plata Quemada" are as bold as the images.

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.

L.A. Weekly by Ernest Hardy

Those who hang in for the long haul are rewarded with a sexy, moving love story.

Village Voice by Jessica Winter

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.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

A stylish look and a fair amount of hot and heavy sex (mostly hetero), and the final shootout is pretty nifty.
