Séduction rapprochée

I enjoyed this film as a modern Film Noir. Virginia Madsen is very

sexy (probably at her peak here), a good actress, & has the look of

a 1940s starlet. I can't be as positive about Treat Williams, who

seems a bit out of his element here. The plot is satisfying,

although it's been done before, & done better. If you're a fan of

Madsen's, you'll be happy with this film. If you don't like her, you

may be disappointed with the movie. I rate it 8/10, mostly based on

the heat generated by Madsen & the style of the film.

Its a descent thriller. Treat Williams, Virginia Madsen and Richard Masur are ok in this :). It has a standout performance by David Paul Cutler, aka D Justin Cole. He was really, really bad as the rental car rep. Im glad to see that this is his only movie. Phew! Dont trust the reviews made by his friends/relatives.

What a surprise! I had no idea I was included with such notables as Virginia Madsen and Treat Williams. "Third Degree Burn" was a great project and I feel privileged and honored to have been included among two such fine actors. My goal on "Third Degree Burn" was to do the best with what I was provided. It was obvious Virginia Madsen was going places fast and Treat Williams was destined for stardom as well. My New Goal is to be cast on "Smallville" as Senator Martha Kent's new love interest and Clark's future Step Father. A Positive Attitude and Great Sense of Humor can carry an actor a long way! Thank You IMDb. You are the Biggest and Best Movie Database on the Planet Earth! Thank You Everyone for your kind and flattering comments.

"Third Degree Burn" provided more than just great entertainment a la Virginia Madsen and Treat Williams. I was surprised to see an old and very close child hood buddy, D. Justin Cole, formerly known as David Paul Cutler. After watching his performance with Virginia Madsen we were hoping he would attend our 25 year Greendale High School Reunion. In Greendale, Wisconsin. He did! The years have been better to him than most. "American Graffiti", "Happy Days", "Lavern and Shirley" and "That Seventies Show" are mirror images of our lives in Greendale, Wisconsin. We now have a hometown friend and brother who is going places in the movie business. Dave has never failed to surprise and astound us with his ability to achieve what ever he set as a goal. His character in "Third Degree Burn" was only a stepping stone to a very successful acting career. Currently he is "snowed-in" up in Park City, Utah getting ready for another great snowboard riding season and Sundance Film Festival. Time is on his side!

This is the first I've seen of David Paul Cutler. His treatment of this character was astounding. I came across this film recently in search of Virgina Madsen films and was lucky enough to discover another possible favorite actor. Hope to see more of him soon in a larger role. He's got the"look" for numerous roles, including, hopefully, leading man. Kudos to the casting rep for finding David Paul Cutler! If anyone has seen this actor in other more recent films, please discuss his performance. Despite David's contribution to the film, I think the movie as a whole needed a little more development of some of its bit role players as this would have provided much more depth to the plot.
