movie review - Heaven's Burning

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Sydney, 2000.03.15

This is an Australian flick about a getaway driver who inadvertently winds up in teamed up with a runaway Japanese housewife. It's funny and slick, but has a bit of punch, too, such as the scene were the housewife's jilted husband turns up at the driver's father's place, and starts shooting first and asking questions later.

Recommended.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
