Asfalto de Sangue

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.

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

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.

This is my first movie review so bear with me.

As an avid motorcycle enthusiast, I felt compelled to watch Burn Out when I came across it on NetFlix.

I give this movie a 7/10, because for its genre, it is good. The motorcycle scenes are what make this movie shine, as they are both thrilling and immersive, with all the camera work on the motorcycles really bringing you close to the action.

It does feel like every motorcycle is just product placement for Ducati, as there are numerous Panigales, Monsters, a Diavel and what I believe was a Hypermotard/Hyperstrada that make appearances in the film, but for a European film, I expected as much.

The story and its characters, while not entirely original, are easily to follow and somewhat predictable, but never boring.

The action is quite intense as well, but enjoyable.

My only gripes with this film is the sound design where the motorcycles are concerned. Anyone who knows Ducati would know that their bikes have the distinctive engine note of a V-Twin. However there are numerous fly-by shots of the Panigale and Diavel where the sounds of an Inline-4 engine are used, which would surely grind the gears of most motorcycle fans.

Another unforgivable sound design sin is in the scene near the end of the film where the supercharged Kawasaki Ninja H2 is given the engine note of a parallel-twin... That infuriated me to no end.

Overall, I enjoyed the film for what it was, and would recommend it to anyone who likes motorcycles and crime-thrillers.

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