TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The script and brilliant acting summarise Burnt. You just want to spend time with Emma Thompson, drink wine with Daniel Brühl and eat Bradley Coopers food. The storyline is not to heavy or to light, just perfect!

Burnt is another film about a top chef, and in many cases the chef is a world class known chef. In Burnt, Bradley Cooper plays an over the top angry chef with several past struggles about drug abuse and such, quite like Gordon Ramsay. The film is labeled a comedy but isn't too much of one, more so a struggling drama as it takes itself a little too serious. There are some decent scenes showing the foods they make but overall, Burnt is quite predictable, as we know in the end everything will work out, and his character will become more likable and nicer once becoming more comfortable in his surroundings. Sienna Miller is there to play the love interest which was very clear it was going to happen but somewhat feels forced. The language could have been toned down a little and done without as many F- bombs, which is the reason for the R rating.Perhaps had they reduced the film to PG-13 it would have been more of a success. In comparison to the John Favreau film "Chef", that feels more authentic and much more enjoyable, fun and doesn't take itself as serious.

One of Bradley Cooper's best performances. Very subtle nuisances in his performance. The classic hero emerges with a new reality by story's end and so does Cooper. So many films hit you over the head with it, but this one..again...subtle. Love the story, hate the story, you cannot beat BC's performance.

Lemme guess he used to be great but 'threw it all away'. He's on a mission of personal redemption. Every one love hates him. He falls in love with his chief competition who of course hates him and adores him. He's substituted drugs and booze for being a colossal a-hole user of people because he's just that talented. He IS the most interesting man in the world. Before him no one ate food. Other than that this is movie where you hear Bradley speak pretty French where you watch people make and eat pretty good food and there's a lot and I mean a lot of histrionics.
