Thanks, Burn.

Thanks for not being every other movie. Thanks for giving me a protagonist who isn't a cardboard cut out of a cardboard cut out. Somebody so far outside the politically correct Hollywood norm that I had to question my own morality a few times when rooting for her. In the dessert of superheroes, remakes, and pointless sequels Burn is a refreshing glass of. . . something different.

Praise aside, this movie's weaknesses all lie late in the third act. Minor restructuring, and capitalizing on things established could have made this a perfect 10.

weirdly satisfying

Yes, it is weird, a look at a girl living on the edge, just barely hanging onto her sanity. She is desperate to escape, to feel something, anything. Then a good looking robber gives her that spark. It lagged in places and you wanted to step in and fix it but overall, a cool ride.

Awkward and Cringeworthy, but in a good way!!

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.

Way more deserving than the 5.5 rating, A witty storyline with brilliant acting try 7 - 7.5

"BURN" 7 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠= Light Praise For everything this film lacks like for instance scenery since the entire movie takes place at a gas station the film does wonders with a simple yet at times convoluted storyline by integrating moments of marvelous acting, especially from the lead role played by Tilda Cobham-Hervey who was brilliant. The writer director Mike Gan keeps the pace moving at just the right speed a few scenes I may have seen done before in other movies but it wasn't a carbon copy or felt like a rip off. The tension builds enough times to keep your attention til the end. I kinda predicted the outcome but it was fun watching it unfold.

Intense n good

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.

Trivia
The Frank Lloyd Wright gas station Melinda mentions is the R. W. Lindholm Service Station in Cloquet Minnesota. It was built in 1958 and is still in use.

Goofs
At 28 minutes when the villain is tied up, the front facing shot has his arms taped to his body preventing his release, however the rear shot has his arms free from tape allowing easy vertical release from the cable ties.
