plata quemada
When two gay thugs Angel (Eduardo Noriega) and El Nene (Leonardo Sbaraglia) join a plan to hold up an armored truck with a group of seasoned gangsters, their love and loyalty to each other is tested. Angel is wounded by police gunfire during the robbery, forcing El Nene to kill them all in a fit of rage. Things become complicated when they escape to Uruguay and the police threaten to torment the driver's moll if she doesn't tell them where they are. With their pictures plastered on the cover of every paper, drowning in drugs and alcohol, the gang begins to bicker. Against his boss's wishes El Nene leaves the apartment and roams the streets where he meets a prostitute named Giselle (Leticia Bredice) in whom he begins to trust. Director Marcelo Pineyro whose films have been both critically acclaimed and commercially successful is one of the most important figures in contemporary cinema in Argentina. His fourth film is a delicate balance of a gripping bloodbath and a moving, tender love story. Burnt Money is based on a book by Ricardo Piglia and was inspired by a true story of a famous bank robbery in Buenos Aires in the 1960s.

one helluva sexy movie - 4 out of 5 (6/30/2003)
One of the best films I have ever seen. The plot is quite appealing (based on a true story, which helps building the film "credibility"), the director excels on creating a tense mood along the film and the actors masterfully build the carachters psichological profiles. It is a movie about people, friendship, ambition and love. Five stars for the music, the actors and no words for the "finale".
If you liked To Live and Die in L.A. you can't miss this one.
