Actors acting!! an actual STORY...no CGI nonsense, 16 August 2001
Author: Edwina Berg (eddberg) from SoCal USA

"One dream doesn't make a whole life."

What a gem (pardon my pun) if you enjoy watching actors and NOT all the CGI bells and whistles that can become such a bore when they are used to hide the lack of a STORY.

SLOW BURN does have a good script and well-drawn characters. JAMES SPADER really pushes the envelope as "Marcus", a slimy escaped con. What a joy to see a great actor in an interesting role and not some "potboiler" like SUPERNOVA (what a waste of talented actors). MINNIE DRIVER as "Trina" was very believable in a role we're not accustomed to seeing her play. The biggest surprise was JOSH BROLIN as the shambling, but not so dim "Duster" a wonderful performance. The romantic tension between Trina and Duster is subtle and presented with just the right, light touch.

The score complimented the action, not always an easy task especially for a story/character driven movie as opposed to some action flick.

Overall, I was very pleased with this movie that is running on several of the cable movie channels right now.
