Burn Out

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.

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

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.

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

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.
