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.

A stylish look and a fair amount of hot and heavy sex (mostly hetero), and the final shootout is pretty nifty.
By V.A. Musetto FULL REVIEW

This bed-swapping crime story is ultimately too protracted, but Piñeyro's direction is richly atmospheric, full of noir shadows and strong period detail.
By Kevin Maynard FULL REVIEW

A sexy, mildly entertaining import.
