THE MOVIE<\/strong> \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Chef Adam Jones (BRADLEY COOPER) had it all \u2014 and lost it. The former enfant terrible of Paris restaurant scene had earned two Michelin stars and only ever cared about the thrill of creating explosions of taste. To land his own kitchen and that third elusive star though, Jones will need to leave his bad habits behind and get the best of the best on his side, including the beautiful Helene (SELENA MILLER), Burnt<\/em><\/strong> is the story about the love of food, the love between two people, and the power of second chances.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: Burnt<\/em><\/strong> is a mess of a film but a well cast and all around acted mess. Bradley Cooper once again turns in a fine performance and even Sienna Miller had her charms but the pacing was off and some storylines are a bit too tidied up quickly such as Jones\u2019s drug past coming back to haunt him, owing a large sum of money to unsavory fellas. Still, this is a perfectly watchable film though it could\u2019ve been better with more substance.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Burnt<\/em><\/strong> arrives on Blu-ray shown in its original 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. It\u2019s not a bad looking film per se but it\u2019s nothing brilliant either with softer detail in some places. Colors though are generally vibrant especially with the variety of vivid cuisines.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The movie comes with a generally pleasing DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which is serviceable since the film is more dialogue-driven with some extra boost for the score and soundtrack. There\u2019s not much depth but it is satisfactory enough for the genre, just don\u2019t expect anything resounding.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
