Review of Burnt Money (2000) by Ai H — 07 Aug 2009

This film is better than I expected. From some reviews I read, I thought it would be somehow shallow, but I'm glad that I was wrong. "Burnt Money" is a nice mix of action and love, which reminds me of "Bonnie and Clyde", only this time it's 2 men. On the second watch, this film burnt me with the intense passion that I missed out on the first time.

There's a scence by which I was blown away, that was when Angel and Nene first met, Angel put his alcohol bottle into Nene's pocket. A simple action that spoke louder than any word, so beautiful a display of trust and love that it hurt. I wish I could see more of their happy time, though they had their happy ending, one way or another...
