Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Disapointment

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is a wild fun Austrailian movie that is well worth the ride The action dominates the movie with a collection of odd broken characters that you so often find in Australian movies. The story sometimes borrows themes from other 'road movies' which are fairly familiar, but the unique characters in the movie make this road movie unique in its own very strange way. Russell Crowe a la sideburns is still very cool, yet he does not dominate each scene as he has done in every movie he has made in the past 5 years. His somewhat understated presence allows his co-star Yidori (?) shine - a wonderful Japanese actress whose ingénue childlike looks contrast sharply with her bizarre change or metamorphosis from the gentle opening scenes. The classical musical romantic score is placed in a wild funny contrast to the plot,sometimes in a very campy way--yet it still works. This is not a great movie or a classic--but it has the zany features of movies like "TRUE ROMANCE', (a cult classic) I would highly recommend this movie for what it it is -- a wild action packed funny bizarre ride with a good run of crazy people--- This movie may be a 10 if you view it the Austrailian way --with a keg of good beer--wish I 'd seen this movie on the big screen but I don't recall this movie in the theater years ago-Enjoy--there are even a few good lines that will make you want to go back to it someday so a DVD purchase would not be wasted....

This movie keeps you wondering what the outcome will be. It is about a man who has no commitment to anyone. He then finds himself in a bad situation. It escalates with him finding himself on the run. He rescues a woman. He doesn't know what to do with her but ends up having feeling for her. It has many elements to the film, including suspense, action, and romance. It makes a great movie for both men and women. Make sure to watch this one. It's a great film.

This definately the best Australian film ever made! Heaven's Burning is a truly amazing film. Russell Crowe's best film. Even better than the overrated Gladiator (2000).This brillant film tells the story of a recent young Japanese bride (Youki Kudoh) who runs away from her husband (Kenji Isomura) to be with her boyfriend who never shows up. As she goes to bank to get money, the bank is robbed by a gang of criminals, who's driver is Colin (Russell Crowe). Colin kills the gang as they try to kill her. So they're on the run from the criminals family and her husband, who are all trying to kill them. And as they go on, they fall in love.Even thought it may be corny they fall in love, but it is so brilliantly done, it doesn't matter. All the acting in this was amazing. The film is brilliant from start to finish. If you can see this film DO IT!!!!!!!Rating: 5/5!!!

A rather below par road movie, enlivened by Russell Crowe in the lead, and by various other noteworthy characters, such as his father, and a mad ex-KGB torturer! admittedly, Russell plays a rather predictable role, but my wife claims that his god-like physique more than makes up for this! since this is an Australian film, don't expect any great shakes in the cinematography department.
