movie review - Heaven's Burning

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one 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.

My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.
