Review of The Burning Plain (2008) by Mike B — 23 Aug 2013
Okay, it's starts with the poster image of a trailer burning and then cuts to a lengthy Charlize Theron full on nude scene. Color me intrigued!
The film is just well acted overall, but Theron, Kim Basinger and Jennifer Lawrence all knock their roles out of the park and each get at least one scene to blow you away with their dramatic acting chops. But all the supporting players are great, even if Tunney and Corbit are a tad wasted as their characters don't add much to the story.
The entire story is basically in the CRASH style of multiple story lines going on the entire film.
I figured out the big twist well before it came, but I think you were meant too. This is just a movie to sit back and be amazed by three great actresses.
Jennifer Lawrence though...can she ever NOT be awesome? Wow, she is going to have a long career ahead of her.
