Burnt Money

This movie was not quite what I expected, but I loved it. It's a little hard to keep up with the plot as the subtitles are long and go by fast so you haven't always got time to watch the movie and read the subtitles too. Therefore I got a little lost in places and had to go back and replay some spots. Not too bad though as the plot kept my interest. Sound and picture quality is excellent. Plot is from a true story. The love between the central characters, a gay couple known as "The Twins" is a story of undying love in the midst of personal inner conflict, frustrations and many life events happening in the meantime. If you are looking for hot steamy sex scenes between the two guys, theres not much there to see but the acting is very good and you get the sense that these two actors were the actual couple come back to make this film. Their chemistry together is awesome and very realistic. They appear to have enjoyed doing this project together and you are left believeing the actors themselves formed a lifetime friendship through this project. There were things I didn't like in the story but since it is based on a true story, there isn't much you can do but accept it as part of what makes the whole thing go around. I would recommend this film highly. It contains lots of adventure, suspense, drama, action and warmth weaved throughout all of that. I'll spare you the details of the movie and let you watch them unfold yourself. I also recommend watching this one over again to catch what you missed the first time through. It is worth it in my opinion.

To be honest, gay love stories don't particularly interest me, but I have to say this film is one of the most sensual, erotic, passionate and intense love stories I have ever seen. EVER! It's not the robbery, the violence, nor the relationship between Nene and Angel that is so stunning. It's the acting by Leonardo Sbaraglia and Eduardo Noriega that makes the film so stunning. As I a viewer, I can feel the intensity between them, their love, their affection, their frustration at life, at their circumstances after the robbery, both personal and as robbers. I would totally believe that Sbaraglia is a bisexual man who prefers men and is deeply in love with Noriega and takes care of him. I love the scene where Nene is cleaning Angel's wound and he starts to get turned on and he starts to take off Angel's pants. The way he looks at Angel, the way he touches Angel. The sex between Giselle and Nene later is very realistic and sexy too. There's full frontal nudity, especially from Sbaraglia, in the sex scene with Giselle. Just FYI. Great film. Started watching this movie at 9:30 last night and it kept me up until 1 am this morning. I'm about to watch it again! So. Good!

If you ever saw the classic Bonnie & Clyde with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunnaway, that is the best comparison I can get for you. Except, Bonnie is a Man and takes place in Argentina & Uruguay.(so it is in Spanish w/ subtitiles) They really spend time developing the relationship between Nene and Angel (Historically known as Brignone and Dorda) and I really felt empathy with them and was rooting for them the whole time.One thing I like about this movie is that it blows away gay stereotypes... like we all run around in speedos saying "girl" drinking cosmos while working at salons. You have two somewhat psychopatic twisted macho men in love with each other, going around robbing banks and killing people.But in the end it comes down to good story telling, the suspense is there, action is there, sex is there (all hetero sex oddly), and the drama is there. I definately classify this as a drama with romantic action elements... But really I defer back to my earlier comparison to the original Bonnie and Clyde, that's pretty much what to expect, but a little bit dirtier, a little bit more violent, a little bit more sexy, and gay.afterthought: the beginning of the movie might make you think the whole movie is going to be narrated for you, don't worry, it's not, just the opening chapter to share information. though there are one or two parts with a voice over from Nene or Angel

Hot actors and visually stunning biggish buget Argentinian true crime gay noir thriller, this could have been soooo good, alas the gays are religiously impotent through 95% of the movie (brought early on by mental breakdown) so all the gay potental action goes out the window and we are left watching frustration with frustration. Not so good. However... last 20 minutes of this movie you should be floored by the plottwist and action plus last minute gay snog saves the day. The movie-loving but eternally starved gay audience might enjoy it better if they don't expect the misleading DVD cover to deliver (that torso scene is 5 seconds at the beginning and this kind of sensual nudity is not repeated though there is some nudity au natural).Story goes like this; its the 1965 in Bueons Aires and big bank money shipment robbery is planned by various crimebosses who hire 3 hitmen to execute it, 2 of which are gay and lovers. The job is a fiasco with cops being killed but they at least get awy with the money and eventually flee Argentina to Uruguy but knowing more or less the whole time they will be cought spending most of their hide-out time bored out of their sculls and drugged out of their minds. The gay couple seems to break up and one of them seeks comfort tricking at night and forms eventually some sort of a relationship with a local moll. Eventually they are sold out by the people who hired them and cops and army attack but their reaction is no surrender and a mini war breaks out as the 3 of them Alamo style hold the fort to the last drop of sweaty blood. Oh and the homos re-unite just in time to be shot.The main trouble with this film is the overlong middlepart with the one half of the gay couple cheating on his lover with a woman (loads of graphic straight sex) this dragged on for way way to long and might as well have ben cut out altogether as it made no difference to the plot. Ok I still liked this movie enough to give it 3 stars and I'm happy to have bought it as I think I will want to watch the best parts annually (but skipping over about 40% of the middle). Grimms.

This movie is one of the best non-English language movies I've ever seen and I've been working with such films for many years. It is intensely erotic in the most sophisticated manner. The scene with the two men lying resting on each other and talking is beautiful- oh such "pillow" talk! I normally don't like violence in films but the ending of this film was perfect as a tragic expression of the culmination of an extraordinary love relationship. Here's to walking on the wild side!!!

Surprisingly gritty and engaging film. The central roles are brilliantly played. Plenty of tense action. A must see.

Great movie, like all the movies of the director Marcelo Piñeyro. It also has very good actors: Leonardo Sbaraglia, Eduardo Noriega and Pablo Echarri.It's worth see this film, based on a true story and very well done.

Absolutely brilliant movie - puts most American crime movies to shame

if you like alternative, world cinema
