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

If this will be american, probably would have raised more voices, a higher interest and for sure more votes even on this website! This could say a lot about how much marketing is doing for a film vs the real product. Thoroughly enjoyable to watch, with thrilling moments but displayed somehow into a realistic way which is not so often seen nowadays. I definitely recommended it for who's looking after a high-pace action movie, with well structured dialogue and generally with no cliches.

Now sometimes there is one aspect that may sway you to actually enjoy something more than others. In this case it may be the bike riding and the "stunts" in general. I read from another reviewer that this is losely based/inspired on "Le Prince Noir" (Black Prince). I have not seen that short (which is b/w according to the other reviewer) and has really good cinematography, style wise similar to the way this movie was shot.

Having said all that, the plot here is really nothing you haven't seen before or anything you will remember for long after you've seen the movie. So if you like the way the bike scenes are filmed, good for you, otherwise you may be underwhelmed by the movie overall.

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