It is a bravura work that attests to Pineyro's command of a style rich in texture and nuance and also of multilayered material.

The passions of "Plata Quemada" are as bold as the images.

Well worth seeing if you have even the slightest interest in guns and sex and the interplay between the two (and who doesn't?), Burnt Money also has, you'll forgive the pun, style to burn.
70
This isn't entertainment for the faint of heart.

A stylish look and a fair amount of hot and heavy sex (mostly hetero), and the final shootout is pretty nifty.
60
This bed-swapping crime story is ultimately too protracted, but Piñeyro's direction is richly atmospheric, full of noir shadows and strong period detail.
50
A sexy, mildly entertaining import.

I don't know why so many straight sex scenes and no gay sex scenes at all when the two protagonists are the gay guys. Also, the story is boring, nothing happens and the thieves are all dumb. Angel especially annoys me with his unexplainable behavior. Though cinematography and interpretations are awesome.
