Critic Reviews

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. Read full review

Dana Stevens

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

Jessica Winter

Burnt Money arranges a triumphant martyrdom for its bad boys -- a redemptive blaze of glory, dozens of faceless corpses notwithstanding. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The most affecting parts of this film are its quieter, character-driven moments, and it's beautifully acted; if there is indeed an "Argentinean New Wave" afoot, Brédice might be its Anna Karina. Read full review

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. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

What makes this one stand out is the tugging, melancholy romance hiding behind the curtain of blood.

Wesley Morris

Hopped up on standard action riffs, most of the film feels like hand-me-downs purchased from the John Woo outlet. Read full review

Fascinating story, great cinematography, perfect casting, and nailed acting. If done in Hollywood it would have walked away with at least 5 academy awards, but Hollywood hasn't the talent to make this kind of compelling and captivating picture anymore.

I don't know why so many straight sex scenes and no gay sex scenes at all when the two protagonists are the gay guys. Also, the story is boring, nothing happens and the thieves are all dumb. Angel especially annoys me with his unexplainable behavior.
