For a B-movie this isnt half shabby. I enjoyed the premise alot. Diddn't really like the direction the story took though. Felt like you were thrown into a movie that was fast-forwarded. The way Characters are explained was poorly. The movie tends to also drag at snails pace all way towards the end were it kicks up a notch. But even then it flatlines again quickly. Not bad, most definitely not great. Just don't expect to be blown away by any means by this picture and you'll have decent time.

This is my first movie review so bear with me.

As an avid motorcycle enthusiast, I felt compelled to watch Burn Out when I came across it on NetFlix.

I give this movie a 7/10, because for its genre, it is good. The motorcycle scenes are what make this movie shine, as they are both thrilling and immersive, with all the camera work on the motorcycles really bringing you close to the action.

It does feel like every motorcycle is just product placement for Ducati, as there are numerous Panigales, Monsters, a Diavel and what I believe was a Hypermotard/Hyperstrada that make appearances in the film, but for a European film, I expected as much.

The story and its characters, while not entirely original, are easily to follow and somewhat predictable, but never boring.

The action is quite intense as well, but enjoyable.

My only gripes with this film is the sound design where the motorcycles are concerned. Anyone who knows Ducati would know that their bikes have the distinctive engine note of a V-Twin. However there are numerous fly-by shots of the Panigale and Diavel where the sounds of an Inline-4 engine are used, which would surely grind the gears of most motorcycle fans.

Another unforgivable sound design sin is in the scene near the end of the film where the supercharged Kawasaki Ninja H2 is given the engine note of a parallel-twin... That infuriated me to no end.

Overall, I enjoyed the film for what it was, and would recommend it to anyone who likes motorcycles and crime-thrillers.

You deal here with a powerful French grade B movie with no length at all. A dynamite rythm urban crime flick made in the suburb of Paris. Effective, tense, taut feature speaking of a young motorcycle racer whose luck drops him, and also whose girlfriend gets involved with dangerous drug dealers; a hero who suddenly falls into deep sh...So, to emerge from this hell for him, he has no other choice to transport drug shipments, using his high speed driving skills on a high speed motorcycle. You have plenty of thrills here, you are stuck to your seat all long this pretty well made piece of work. And the ending is also more than worth.
