Burn Out

Good stuff, french polar which we have not seen for awhile

REVIEW - BURN OUT

French film but......

What would you do to help a loved one escape debt especially if they owe money to a drugs dealer?

This film follows the story of how a man, working and following his dream of becoming a professional motorcycle racer becomes embroiled in the delivery of drugs using his motor racing skills to do so and I must admit that cinematography whilst riding the motor bike is brilliantly done giving you the actual perspective of the run / chased.

Interesting story with enough to keep you watching until the end and great characters.

How he balances his work, racing career and running drugs and the way this effects him is brilliantly portrayed.

If you enjoy a good story, great characters and acting and enough action to keep you interested in what happens with an excellent ending this is the one for you.

Rating 7 out of 10

Will start with the fact that the movie is European, so this itself makes it pleasant and different to watch, as well as scenes and acting. A nice story of a guy, his dream, the event in his life and how it all mixes up. It just looks too real, something we see less in the US movies to a point where a good, but more realistic way of showing something might seems not well done, while it's the contrary.

Probably one of the best motorcycle movies I've seen..as a motor cyclist I give it 1 more star than it maybe deserves

Although the film doesn't really offer anything new to the drug crime genre, you're bound to enjoy this if your a bike enthusiast. The biking element was probably the highlight of the film. Just a pity the music wasn't thumping to propel the film forward. The score did not complement the fast-paced biking scenes as it should have.

François Civil makes a likable hero, Tony. Tony's only crime was to protect the ones he loves. This is a very uncomplicated plot, and easy to follow. Every single character in this film has a distinct purpose; there are no unnecessary characters, which I enjoyed.

The film has the potential to become tedious with more than one viewing, I think, but for a first time viewing it was rather exciting.
