Movie Review: Burnt Money - one of the 10 best films of the new millenium
Summary: 5 Stars
Plata Quemada, i.e. Burnt Money, is one of the 10 best films of the new millenium. The other reviewers are absolutely right, Hollywood has nothing on Argentina. Many of Argentina's films surpass Hollywood films far and wide. Plata Quemada has become my absolute favorite film. I have seen this film probably 50 times since I first bought it (and I'm not kidding!) and that is not something I usually do. All of the main characters, "Nene, Cuervo, and Angel" are imbedded in my memory banks. In fact, after watching this film so many times, I decided to watch other films by the main actors, Lenoardo Sbaraglia (Nene), Eduardo Noriega II (Angel), and Pablo Echarri (Cuervo), and I pleasantly found that their other films are quite good as well. These men are very good, talented actors, not just pretty faces, in virtually all of their films. The director Marcelo Pinyero is also quite good. I've seen a few of his films. Plata Quemada is the icing on the cake though for the actors and the director. This will be a diamond in the story of their careers for the rest of their lives. They should be very proud. They definitely won me. I am a loyal fan for life!!Movie Review: Burnt Money

The tempo of the movie reminds me of that of Monsters Ball. I only saw this movie because of the director, but i am glad i did. Don't expecte to see hardcore porn in this film. There are only a few scences that barley qualifies a partial nudity, scense were do tastfully. The film is about some important power figures in Argentina who plot a risky heist and higher three men to do it. They end up killing 3 people to gain 7 million dollars, but in the process one gets shot, leaving a trail of evidence. Thus they are forced to flee to Uraguay, where they are on lock down to aviod anyone reconizing them. They hide out till thing cool down in Argentina. Mean while the main characters "Angel" and "Nene" are having problems. One is confused about his sexual identity, and his mental state of mind, while the other becomes frustrated. As a result he seeks comfort in a women he meets in Uraguay. In the end things fall apart, thier wear abouts are discoved, and make a run for it. conflicts arrise, identities and friendships are questioned, and tension rises. The ending is a bit much, but it works, and will leave you in awe.Movie Review: Nene and Angel.....A love with incredible passion.
Summary: 5 Stars
I just caught this superb movie for the first time, and it is one of the best movies about gay love and distruction I have ever witnessed. Leonardo Sbaraglia(Nene) and Eduardo Noreiga(Angel) are stunningly beautiful and utterly convincing as gay lovers the "twins." The entire movie is beautifully short and the acting is just brilliant. Burnt Money,(Plata Quemada) will have you glued to your tv set from begining to end. It has an ending which has to be seen to be believed, and then will leave you breathless. The movie is seething with violence, death and distruction, but at the same time there are so many quiet classic moments between Nene and Angel which are wonderfully erotic, sexy and heartwrenching, all at the same time.
Buy the DVD when it come's out, it's worth every penny.
Now,..... why does Hollywood find it so hard to produce movies like this, at least once in a while?
Movie Review: A good mvie about love and jealous
Summary: 5 Stars
It's quite interesting that if a gay movie is not shot in USA it is usually worth seeing. This movie is an example.Leonardo Sbaraglia(Nene) and Eduardo Noreiga(Angel)are quite charming. But as I see this movie is just about love and jealous, doubt and trust. It can happen to both gay lovers and straight lovers. It's about desire, possesion and give up. The pace of this movie is a bit slow, but it does not make me feel bad.
I don't know if the director is a gay or not. All women characters in this movie are described as cunny and selfish. The director is a little mean to women characters in this movie. So if he is not a gay, understanding of this film will be more interesting.
Worth your time and money on this movie. Go get one, at least rent one.
Movie Review: A Must See!
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't be enticed or repelled by "Plata Quemada" because you think it is a "gay film". It is an intense crime drama that happens to feature a "Clyde & Clyde"---and a Bonnie---relationship. Many may be pleased with the unique potrayal of the homosexual relationship (which is not explicit) between the two main characters, but the relationship would be just as compelling if it were heterosexual. "Plata Quemada" is a thoughtful true story of a group of hardcore criminals with an endearingly human and vulnerable side. You will be rooting for the bad guys!
