Burn

"BURN" 7 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠= Light Praise For everything this film lacks like for instance scenery since the entire movie takes place at a gas station the film does wonders with a simple yet at times convoluted storyline by integrating moments of marvelous acting, especially from the lead role played by Tilda Cobham-Hervey who was brilliant. The writer director Mike Gan keeps the pace moving at just the right speed a few scenes I may have seen done before in other movies but it wasn't a carbon copy or felt like a rip off. The tension builds enough times to keep your attention til the end. I kinda predicted the outcome but it was fun watching it unfold.

Yes, it is weird, a look at a girl living on the edge, just barely hanging onto her sanity. She is desperate to escape, to feel something, anything. Then a good looking robber gives her that spark. It lagged in places and you wanted to step in and fix it but overall, a cool ride.

This turned out to be a surprising and quirky little indi thriller with a really interesting narrative and depiction of mental illness.

The lead girl did a killer job and was so consistent in her character choices you couldn't tell me that's not the way she always acts. Great job, I would love to see her in something else. Denim bad guy did a good job but I didn't really believe the "rough and tumble" side of his character as much.

The story suffers from awkward pacing at times but certainly keeps you engaged as it is hard to see what is ever around the corner with this one. I wish that the climax leading into the ending had given us a little more as well. It left me a little unfulfilled and hanging a bit.

Despite some hiccups, this was a bit of a breath of fresh air. It felt different and was genuinely intriguing. 6.5 rounding down to a 6. Would recommend.

It was intense for most of the time for a simple situation. The story telling is good and totally chill. Melinda acting quite impressed me especially she acts as a weak woman but also a psycho. Lots of expression in her role.

Listen, this isn't a bad movie. Don't listen to the 1/10 ratings. The acting is good from all involved and you'll find yourself wanting to watch more. My only gripe with this movie is that it feels a little 'all over the place' towards the end. It's almost like they couldn't decide what they wanted to do. Other than that, it's different than most thrillers I've seen and definitely worth a watch.
