Slow Burn (2000 Video)
8/10
Minnie Driver is superb
5 November 2019
I loved Slow Burn. It's a morality tale, a simple yet extreme one, but the depth of the characters, all played with superb precision by highly competent actors, ensures that you never quite know what's coming. The two crims are poles apart as personalities, and neither is quite a killer, which leads to several tense standoffs. The standout, however, is Minnie Driver. She emerges from her complex character as a most usual yet highly engaging, and appealing, not to mention beautiful, adventurer. She knows survival. It's really something to watch her fix a truck. The music was awesome, capturing the desert. The filming techniques were highly competent. There are several memorable images. Slow Burn is an easy movie to enjoy.
