there's a lot of confidence to "Burn"; Tilda Cobham-Hervey carries the picture with exceptional commitment; It ends a little winded, but the movie carries far enough with strangeness and stress to support the viewing experience
an unconvincing nail-biter about fantasies of escape; not-very-convincing drama, which displays much less insight into its lead character's psyche than required
"Burn", a reasonably promising single-location thriller that never quite settles on what it wants to be; a passably diverting, moderately offbeat but also instantly forgettable hybrid that doesn't even rank among the best truck-stop-in-crisis movies
"Burn" is an incredibly impressive debut feature from Mike Gan. The film is fast and tight and hits all the beats perfectly. There is literally never a dull moment, and it's safe for me to say that "Burn" is one of my favorite films of the year thus far
