Featured review
Gripping action, questionable sound design choices. Overall a good film
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.
