Burning Betrayal (2023) User Reviews

I don't know why the ratings are so bad

[retababyagyare · 5/10 · 3 November 2023]

Okay so I don't know why the ratings are so bad and as low as 1. Quite funny. But if you are not into this genre then yeah, you might not like it.

But if you are one of the lovers of 365 days, then yeah, this is in that zone.

It's a predictable movie so don't expect anything exceptional or some mind blowing story line.

It's just a movie you watch to pass the time and relax. Nothing exceptional.

However, it's nice. It's calm, some sex scenes, calm story. Not any wild acting but just a normal movie you can chill with for the night.

It's not as bad as the reviews say tho. I enjoyed it. Watched to the end:

Boring with nudity and some inovation

[dragoshilbert · 4/10 · 26 October 2023]

It was so boring that I needed a pause or two. It has some nudity and tries to be an erotic thriller without any success. It fails also at being a thriller.

It has some "inovations", some scenes more close to real life, things done different than the majority of the stream productions of these days but fails to win any point because is still boring.

As of 2023, this has 3.8 point that I thing is about right.

Really cannot relate with any of actors, maybe they try their best but cannot feel anything, even in the tense scenes is still something missing, but al least some real life situations are present: dating struggles, how attractive are the money without effort, etc.

Ignore the bad reviews...movie is not bad.

[Serenity3000 · 5/10 · 10 November 2023]

Good movie with a lot of soft porn scenes. This movie won't win any Oscars, but it was watchable and it ended up being a love story. What started out as a passionate one night stand ended up being a pretty good love story. Marco and Bali are attractive and passionate people and the sex scenes really wasn't extreme. It was more like watching two people falling in love. I just wish there was male nudity because there was plenty of female nudity. This is a movie to watch when there is nothing else to watch for Adults only. I didn't come in thinking I would get great acting, if you take the movie for what it is, sexy fun, then you won't be disappointed. Thiago being the bad guy at the end was kind of predictable, but who cares. It was a happy ending for Marco, Bali, and his daughter.

pure trash

[remosteiner · 1/10 · 27 October 2023]

Trash.. waisted hour and a half of my life.. althought I had a good laughter on acting because it was so horrible that ended up funny. If I could rate it with minus grade, I would.

Whole erotic part of movie is sooo terribly done that looks more like some erotic movie parody than whatever they try to go with this..

movie plot was obvious since the beginning.

Whoever directed this trash is, I hope, is some amateur, because otherwise it makes it even worse.

The whole story of this movie doesn't make any sence.

The acting also was on amateur level.

Music in the movie I don't even want to loose words on it how terrible it was.

Pure trash!

Rubbish

[arriellesharma · 1/10 · 26 October 2023]

I usually never give one star reviews, but I would even give a zero for this. Netflix seems to have gotten carried away by the success of 365 days (the first one), because they now allow any rubbish in the name of erotica. The leads have absolutely no chemistry& it is very off-putting to see them thrust away in the most mechanical fashion. You will spend most of your time wondering how Babi attracts almost every man she interacts with. From her best friend to the judge to the motorcycle club man. Give it a rest. The sex scenes have no build up or tension, it's just for the sake of it. Still sceptical? Go right up to the end (before the credits start to roll) and enjoy that animation.

Don't waste your time

[Angyica · 1/10 · 29 October 2023]

The film want everything, but delivers nothing. It's Trash and boring.

They don't build the characters up, so you have a chance to like them. Their backstories or their present stories are just like it would be some side talk an unimportant stuff. I don't have the filling that the producer's wanted me to get close to any Charakter in this film , they were just there for the plot. Even the plot was a s**thole. The producer's wanted so much a shock factor, that they completely messed up.

Steamy scenes are horrible. The film is everything but a thriller. Just because you make the one of the main character a judge and at the end you letting a side Charakter die , it won't be a thriller.

They push every cliché possible in this serie , what makes it extremely overfilled. It's not only a scene or two , the whole movie is a cliché. Terrible.

And why we're the motorcycle that important, it's a question for itself.

NOTHING TO WATCH HERE

[mendymariamKE · 2/10 · 28 October 2023]

"Burning Betrayal" is unabashedly focused on explicit adult content. If it revealed any more, it might have been better suited for platforms like Pornhub.

It leans heavily on intimate scenes and nudity.

The narrative is thin, centering around a woman betrayed by her fiancé, despite their five-year relationship on the verge of marriage. SO , He has been cheating on her for two years.

Unfortunately, the film lacks a compelling plot and character development, offering little beyond a tired storyline.

The explicit nature of the content may align more with platforms like Pornhub or X Videos.

Nevertheless, the cinematography is commendable, showcasing a well-executed aspect of the film - the nudity.

Trashy

[anacristinaro-30285 · 5/10 · 27 October 2023]

Extremely unoriginal story with horrible acting, no chemistry between main characters, way too porny and trashy, with very little and simplistic storyline, shallow characters and very easygoing female characters. After barely saying hi to each other, 1 minute later they were already making out. Positive: extremely eyecandy actors, and hot scenes. However, I do not recommend wasting your time to watch the whole movie, I skipped a few scenes myself. This movie tries to imitate many movies out there already in the erotica genre such as 50 shades, 365 days, while not being able to bring anything new to the table. I would suggest skipping this movie altogether as it is a waste of time watching it, no entertainment value.

If you liked 365 days...

[knightly-00068 · 6/10 · 29 October 2023]

Ok people it's got a super hot guy who seems to be able to act, sex, nudity and has more of a plot then 365 days. If your looking for a sexy flick to kill and 1.5 hr enjoy yourself. This is nothing new or profound just relax people. I liked that it had a beginning middle and a satisfying conclusion.

Now I have to figure out how to fill 300 more characters so this review can be published and people can see that sone people can still enjoy a basic film that is nothing beyond what it is trying to be. If you watched 365 days this is a copy cat for sure. Enjoy some cute butts boobs and a super hot judge.

After Hours Viewing

[lavatch · 4/10 · 26 October 2023]

This may be called a film of many "hook-ups."

"Burning Betrayal" revolves around the frenetic lifestyle of Bárbara "Babi" Nucci, who "works" in an accounting firm, but whose life is primarily filled with burning betrayals.

First, there is the stormy relationship of Babi and her fiancé Caio. Then, following Caio's infidelity, there is a hint of hanky panky with Babi and her bespectacled co-worker Thiago. Then comes the torrid attraction of Babi to the judge, Marco Ladeia.

There was a pretty good plot unfolding in a corruption scheme at Babi's office, and it brings together all of the men in her life. But as the viewer attempts to piece together the narrative, there are long, protracted scenes of fornication. The viewer must decide whether these "adult" scenes add to or detract from the overall dramatic impact.

A rather wooden plot device was inserted when we learn all about Emanuel Syndrome in a sob story that serves to let Marco off the hook for his seemingly bad behavior.

The liveliest character in the film was the fun-loving and promiscuous Paty, the BF of Babi. The scenes were never dull when Paty put in an appearance, bringing some much-needed irony and even humor to this steamy, boudoir-driven film.

A Giovanna Lancellotti showcase

[switzerok · 8/10 · 26 October 2023]

This film is a steamy thriller meant to showcase the attractive Giovanna Lancellotti. Leandro Lima and Micael provide plenty of eye candy for those attracted to males - but their primary function is to make Giovanna look good.

The supporting characters provide dialogue to help explain what's going on, often unnecessarily. I found most of these characters irritating and a nuisance.

At a young age (19), Giovanna played character in the series Gabriela who has sex reluctantly. Not so in this film. She plays a confident woman who knows what she enjoys and has no reluctance pursuing it.

I've read a couple of reviews that panned it, which it may deserve for the "thriller" aspect of the story, but it's unfortunate when a reviewer doesn't care for "steamy" yet chooses to review films that clearly are intended to be steamy. I tip my hat to Giovanna and the two guys for their steamy performances. I read that Giovanna trained long and hard to get her body in condition for the revealing sex scenes. That work clearly paid off.

A Wattpad movie worthy of a soap opera

[Elvis-Del-Valle · 7/10 · 28 December 2023]

This Brazilian film is an adaptation of a novel written by a Wattpad user and is notable for the quality of the story and even more so for having the same author in charge of the script. This is another one of those Wattpad stories that many women use to express their deepest desires, correctly justifying what women really are. The film is a story of passion, betrayal and eroticism that at times pretends to be a romantic film and at other times an erotic film. It's not exactly like Fifty Shades Of Gray and it's a film that's on par with a soap opera.

The romance story it has is quite typical and even cheesy with hilarious moments. The erotic scenes manage to be good, but they don't seem to be used at the right times. As an erotic film it could have worked well and would have been better, since erotic cinema has been dead for a long time. The protagonist of this story is like many female characters in a Wattpad story, they are usually clear reflections of the authors' alter-ego. The good thing about that is that it helps you see what feminine nature is really like, no matter how much they try to hide it. The motivations that lead Babi to want to have an affair with Marco are as fair as Caio's betrayal that unleashes the events. After all, romantic relationships are something that are not really worth it and pleasure is the only thing that should be more relevant.

To be fair, the plot of the film is good, but the script has a couple of holes, flaws and needed more development. The secrets that lie about Marcus and Caio could have added quite a bit if they had been explored further. The ending makes the film hide a crime story behind it that could also have contributed a lot, but it didn't. Like any Wattpad story, the entire story only revolves around the protagonist. You can't expect much from someone who writes on Wattpad. Clearly, this proves that a Wattpad writer needs more literary knowledge to create a story, but the reality is that we are already in an era where that has become irrelevant and only the popularity of the manuscript matters regardless of the quality. Nowadays anyone can be a writer without having any experience and after the phenomenon of the After saga, this film is one of the many results of how Internet culture has even taken over cinema.

O Lado Bom De Ser Traída is a Wattpad movie that may not work as a movie, but it is an entertaining story that any soap opera lover can enjoy. My final rating for this movie is a 7/10.

Sufferable thing with some goods

[Rodrigo_Amaro · 4/10 · 30 October 2023]

At first, when I saw the major rating here qualifying (as usual) that a erotic thriller was quite down I was thinking about the major issues some viewers have with similar projects where only a specific target audience will enjoy it (but they won't say a word in here, myself included) and others one who'll just label as another ridiculous thing. However, this one didn't get me and I could almost say the whole experience was bad but not really, there were some cool moments but the majority of it doesn't make it even watchable, it's more like skippeable, if needed just watch for the sex scenes or to admire to actor/actress you like. "50 Shades" and "365 Days" are guilty pleasures of mine, I can handle, but this one was tough to endure.

It comes from a book that apparently was a hit but I only heard about such after the movie. All the cliches in those genres are feature here: a hard working girl (Giovanna Lancellotti) falls for an insanely hot yet mysterious guy (Leandro Lima) and after that a series of dangerous situations will stand in between with things they discover along the way. Difference in this case is that pretty girl was already committed early in the story, with a cheater (Micael) of whom she abandons hence the original title that goes for "The Upside of Being Cheated" rather than Netflix international promotional "Burning Betrayal" (easy to be remembered).

The book of cliches is ridiculous and nauseating, all the characters are hot or pretty, all lives seem well except for a couple of things, sex scenes must have some seductive music (which usually makes things quite lame) and ultimately when the dangers come...you'll probably know of whom comes from since the writers fail to create an expanded deck of cards, meaning limited numbers of characters make the charade easier to solve. I knew it all along who would be against the scheme revolving the young lawyer and the judge.

The mentioned franchises had some positive stuff on them, there are softcore with better elements as well, but this one was problematic from scene one, really sufferable that I had to stop after a while and continue later on (and usually those films make you going all the way cause all the thrilling elements push you to it). I know the viewership of this around the globe but trust me, Brazil has made a lot better and sexier than this and on decades before - but I won't complain about the pairing here, they make a nice couple if you ignore their dialogues together).

The good things that came from here: the helpful friend/co-worker (Bruno Montaleone); her best friend (Camilla de Lucas), a nymphomaniac who gives her all the best advices and I loved her ending in the story (but you don't get to see her in action with the guys); and the mystery revolving the judge was pretty good and it didn't revolve about a childhood trauma that makes the man sees women in a different way. It felt something real and quite unique in terms of film, I must say.

Basic generic stuff, overdone and mostly boring with some spicy moment. Just went forward out of curiosity and got a somewhat waste of time. 4/10.

I was misled

[mmillington554 · 4/10 · 4 November 2023]

I watched this expecting a steamy thriller. Instead I got soft porn with a bit of a storyline. If you like looking at naked or near naked bodies, of both genders, there are plenty of scenes to choose from. Inevitably all the actors have impeccable physiques and the sex scenes do show some imagination in terms of activities and positioning. It couldn't really have got more explicit without having to be differently categorised. I just wish that the thriller part of the narrative was more pronounced. I got the impression that the sex scenes were really the driving force for the narrative rather than the crimes. It was well acted nonetheless.

Didn't know "erotic" thriller is a genre

[darkomarijancevic · 3/10 · 30 October 2023]

I watched both 50 Shades of Gray and 365 Days (part one), and the main focus of those two are sexual relationships, so sex and erotica made complete sense, because they were the main plot in the storylines of both of those films (who thinks otherwise, in my opinion, didn't understand those films). Almost every scene in them was a scene of seduction, so that even the events from characters' everyday lives played a secondary role in the storyline and those events were used as tools to perpetuate the main storyline of seduction, eroticism and sex (typically the more sexually explicit variation of the knight - damsel in distress trope).

In Burning Betrayal, however, the sex scenes don't quite fit in. The main storyline seems to be the typical thriller type story which I won't spoil, but then that storyline is interspersed with sex scenes in an awkward and rather clumsy and disconnected way. For all I cared, it could've been a "food network thriller" genre and the characters could've fine dined instead of having sex. It wouldn't make much difference to the main storyline, because guess what - couples generally do engage in sex every now and then, but they also eat a few times a day too, so either wouldn't make a difference in the progress and development of the storyline.

It looked like the actors weren't particularly thrilled (no pun intended) to be in this film, and if its story stuck to the thriller aspect which was intriguing, the score would've been much better. Unfortunately, this time - 3 out of 10.

Corny

[kpetey27 · 5/10 · 11 November 2023]

Guys are hot!! But it's kind of cheesy... not a lot of depth. I think I know who is behind the betrayal.. but no spoilers!! Like I said. The guys are smoking hot! But the plot is kind of a let down. Hope it gets better as I watch it. Brazil looks beautiful and the main character keeps herself very strong through the movie. Did I mention that the guys at are smoking hot!! Pretty much the reason I keep watching! Plus I need to know if my suspicions are correct!! The main character looks better as a brunette. Helps her to keep her toughness! Not to mention she drives an awesome motorcycle! Keep watching!!!!

Failed Po*n thriller

[ahsanraaj-97162 · 1/10 · 14 April 2024]

The absence of a cohesive narrative and conclusive resolution can indeed detract from the overall impact of a story. When a tale fails to offer a satisfactory conclusion or meaningful character development, it may leave audiences feeling disconnected and dissatisfied. Moreover, portraying unhealthy or unrealistic relationships can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and misconceptions about love and romance. True romance encompasses a deep emotional connection, mutual respect, and genuine affection, transcending mere physical intimacy. By focusing solely on sexual encounters without exploring the emotional nuances and complexities of relationships, a narrative risks oversimplifying the rich tapestry of human connection and intimacy. In summary, while physical attraction may be a component of romance, it is far from the sole defining factor. A truly compelling romantic story delves into the depths of human emotion, offering readers or viewers a profound exploration of love, longing, and the human experience.

Burning Stupidity

[phuckracistgop · 1/10 · 24 March 2024]

Because these writers and directors must think that viewers are gullible enough to fall for a judge coming to the rescue and surviving a gunshot wound at close range, Oh yeah, and the weak excuse for this married judge to not tell her what was up from the get go and after being cheated on, I guess we're to believe that she will just pop back to this fake judge playing cops and robbers

FYI, judge's do not order wire taps, they are the ones that the police and the DA go to see to get approval on wire taps.

Plus implied sex works better than these drawn out over acted sex scene with loud obnoxious tonsil hockey. It's like someone needs to Vaseline their sticky lips.

Too stupid, predictable and plot holes galore.

Who's f... who ...

[kosmasp · 6/10 · 1 May 2024]

If you know the band 2 Live Crew, my summary line might make sense to you - still I will go on the record and say once again, whether you get it or not: no pun intended. I reckon even without knowing the song, you can guess what I was saying there (or rather writing).

And the same is kind of true for the story of the movie - maybe I should have written "story". Because there is not really much here. It may surprise you at one point or another - but overall it is easy to predict. The movie is categorized as steamy and while you may have to wait a bit for it to really get hot ... there are some glimpses right from the start ... but the movie does withhold the goods ... well not those goods (nudity), but you know what I mean.

The main actress is really good looking - as are the costars. So this does more or less what you might expect it to do ... and who can be mad at someone who is so gorgeous? Well not me apparently ...

Waste of time ,

[pauleusvaleriem · 1/10 · 27 February 2024]

I wasted my time by watching it , there no emotion, no connection and no vibe , i was looking for the connection between the scenarios but there wasn't any it's seems like they are trying to imitate the 50 shade of gray and they did it and a wrong way . I was trying to see where is the moral of the story but I couldn't find it. There is the scene where she got the bike accident it was so fake that it made me think about Indian movies I don't know what's going on now but some movies are very trash you just waste your time by watching them. I don't recommend anyone to watch it. It is a big waste of time 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 .

A beauty adapted from a national book!

[ivanyivauva · 10/10 · 27 October 2023]

Despite all the prejudice against Contemporary Erotic Romance, the film comes to show that there is indeed space for this modality. The production team managed to transform what was already a phenomenon of National Literature into the audiovisual industry. An incredible cast provides very beautiful scenes. The photography direction was amazing!

The hottest scenes, after all, it is an Erotic Romance, have beauty, chemistry and sensuality.

The character Paty (Camilla de Lucas) proves to be a true friend to Babi (Giovana Lancellotti). After all, when we're down, there's nothing better than a friend to help us get up. That partner who encourages, advises, welcomes and is sincere when necessary. Besides being fun and true!

Babi is a young accountant who has been in a relationship for 5 years with businessman Caio (Micael Borges. At the beginning of the narrative, they are engaged, but the relationship does not seem to be going well. On the eve of the wedding, she discovers that she is being cheated on. After the initial shock, he decides to find out everything he can about the betrayal. With the support of his partner and friend Thiago (Bruno Montaleone) and the inseparable Paty, he devises a way to break into his "ex's" office. From there, a series of discoveries painful moments arise, proving that she didn't even know the one who would be her life partner.

She allows herself to "mourn", until, with Paty's help, she decides to turn things around and move on with her life. In this new phase, he gets to know the mysterious Judge Marco Ladea (Leandro Lima) better, with whom he stars in very hot scenes. Even though it was not his intention initially, deeper feelings emerge, but the mysteries surrounding Marco, as well as everything he discovered about his "ex" can get in the way of what could be a successful relationship.

With a pinch of action and intrigue, we follow the unfolding of this story which, despite some clichés (as we really like), manages to hold the viewer's attention until the end, showing, mainly, that there are different types of betrayal, but, if we know take advantage, at least we will understand that the best thing is to get rid of what and who harms us! Watch!

I LOVED IT!

[fairy396 · 10/10 · 5 April 2024]

This movie is so underrated. It is very intense, fun, relatable, has mystery, good music, a GREAT plot twist, and... I am usually bored by sex scenes, but in this movie, they are done so well in such a great style!

I liked it so much that I am thinking about it days after watching it. I wish I could see more movies like this one.

That "nice guy"... what a surprise! I would never dream he would be a villain! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G plot twist again!

The action and the plan of killing were so intense! The accident too!

I am surprised that many people did not like the movie. The movie has everything it takes to be considered one of the best!

And she got over the cheating and got another lover, it was somewhat fast - not complaining - but so intense!
