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.
