Review of Burning Sands

I watched the trailer for this a bit before it finally popping up on Netflix. It looked like an intensely interesting film and well made. This is the only film from Gerard McMurray and Christine Berg so far. So let's see what they have to offer.

Wow that is not at all what I was expecting from this. That really was an intense story. The whole idea of it really keeps you hooked. I wasn't even sure which way things would go in the situations they were in. When everything was said and done I was left speechless. The acting is excellent even from the unknowns. I also spotted the guy who played the oldest version of the main character from Moonlight. His role is very limited though which I was disappointed with. For a movie about fraternities they did this one right and different.

This was a remarkable film from beginning to end. These newcomers really knew how to give their all to their characters and the story. The direction and writing was excellent and well thought out. It's not a booze and sex filled frat movie which gives it an edge. I hope to see future work from the director and writer here. If you haven't yet checked this new addition to the Netflix entertainment I highly recommend you do.
