Review of Slow Burn

Slow Burn (2000 Video)
9/10
a superb variation of Treasure of Sierra madre & Lust For Gold
11 April 2001
Two of the best films with the searing for lost gems(or whatever) ' were The Treasure of Sierra madre & Lust For Gold

Slowburn is nearly in the same league as those.(No film will ever be as good as the 2 above titles) Against a sun bleached background we find Minnie Driver in her search for an ancestors catch of diamonds that were lost in a sand dune, many years earlier. James Spader & Josh Brolin are 2 escaped dim witted convicts who now are involved in the search. Stuart Wilson is the 4th member of this cast who was involved with Minnies mother. So for over 90 minutes, we have greed, lust danger & all the other instrumnets to make an excellent film Granted I am very partial to this type of movie

the acting by all is top draw & the entire production is first rate/

Rent this film, I am sure you will like it may rating is ****

as always jay harris
