I had seen this movie many times on the LOGO Channel which in case you didn't know is the gay cable channel.This movie is about two gay guys who meet in a public toilet and then later get involved in a bank robbery which goes bad.So the robbers have to flee the country in order to avoid capture.It's quite a cultural/sexual contrast between the two gay guys and one of the straight robbers.They all trade sexual as well as personal insults.You also get the idea that one of the robbers may not be gay but at least bisexual.One of the most interesting and contrasting parts in the movie is when one of the robbers meets a guy in a public toilet and drops to give him a blowjob while holding a gun to him.This scene is intercut with the other "gay" robber in a church kneeling and looking up a Christ on the cross after reading on the pew "What if you died tonight?" There's alot of sexual tension on and off throughout the whole movie.It shows how any relationship, gay or straight has its ups and downs.It also shows how other cultures particularly Latin culture view different sexual relationships. Overall it's a great movie!Read full review
Movie synopsis 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 torture 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 Piñeyro, 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. I loved this film. And a True Story, too! This movie is on fire and worth watching to the very end. No happy endings here but very erotic! Enjoy with Argetinean Drink Mate!~~~~~~Read full review

I love the actor Eduardo Noriega in all of his films. Novo, The Devil's Backbone, etc. The plot is a fast paced mafia like drama. I enjoy the Argentinian accent and the flexibility of the actors to portray different roles.
