Burn

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.

This is one of those rather off the wall movies that grow on you as the movie unfolds.

I thought it was going to be a run of the mill siege drama but it takes some really rather unusual twists and turns and has an excellent performance from Tilda Hervey who carries the whole movie rather well.

I wont give anything away suffice to say watch it, you may be surprised. It is not going to win any Oscars but the story is different from your usual run of the mill and it has some scenes that will have you wondering if you should laugh or cringe but you end up empathising with the main character Melinda. The whole film actually revolves around her and everything that happens is generated by the one character - very unusual character-centric film and well above your average drama!

Tilda Cobham-Hervey plays the awkward role flawlessly. There isn't a moment throughout this movie that she doesn't deliver. Two gas station employees have their night interrupted by a robbery that does not go as planned. Josh Hutcherson is no match for these two and will come to regret turning down Melinda's offer.

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.
