Burning Ratings & Reviews
- Caio César L. CoelhoMarch 3, 2026Anyone who has watched at least half a dozen thrillers can already predict what's going to happen. Honestly, any viewer with some experience in thrillers could imagine more worthy endings as well. Almost 2 hours and 30 minutes of a predictable story that drags on more than it should.
- ayayronApril 6, 2025Slow burn to the unexpected.... if your jaw really could hit the floor, I'd require medical attention
- Russell KielSeptember 22, 2025Just so good. A slow build to the moment of knowing exactly what you need to do. Excellent mood across the entire arc of the story.
