Review of Slow Burn

Slow Burn (2005)
7/10
A Good Mystery that was Great but was Murdered by the Editor
7 March 2024
There's few movies that suffered more from poor editing more than Slow Burn. A strong cast with fine performances, but ithe film is sliced and diced until you suspect that you're the only viewer that's confused. All the right scenes are there, just in the wrong order. I get what the movie was TRYING to do: see everything through the eyes of DA Ford Cole (Ray Liotta) as he saw them at the time he saw them. This can work OK (and just OK) in a book where the reader can page back and sort things out but not in a 93 minute movie. This film should be reedited and rereleased.

Worth watching, but it could have been oh so much more.
