Watch Third Degree Burn For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The acting in this movie is really good.

After watching Third Degree Burn I welcome the addition of David Paul Cutler aka D. Justin Cole to Smallville as a New Love Interest and Husband for Martha Kent, a Role Model and Father Figure for Clark and a Shot of New Blood and Electricity for the Kent Farm. One can only hope that Lionel Luthor meets his end in a fitting way before and without causing too much damage to Martha, Clark and the Kent Farm. Cutler's addition to the Smallville Cast would be a refreshing leap into a new story line and open doors to Clark's development as a truly Ethical and Moral Man. Also, a new face in the series would, For Sure, Enliven the Overall Values of Truth, Justice and The American Way.

The Car Rental Rep played by newcomer David Paul Cutler was brilliant. His ad-libbed arguing scene with Virginia Madsen was flawless and as surprising as Bronson Pinchot's character in Beverly Hills Cop! Our baby boomer generation will look forward to seeing much more of this rising star and Redford look-a-like! It's refreshing to see new All-American faces in this era of "same genre" casting. The future holds promises and rewards for aspiring actors such as David Paul Cutler. Let me be the first to yell, "Bravo". Cutler brought Madsen's character to life in a way only a novice could accomplish. If only he were in the hotel room scene with Madsen could this have been a better performance! Encore, Encore!

If you're a fan of the erotic thriller, this one works and works well. Yes, you've seen it before. Yes, there are no surprises. Yes, Virginia Madsen is hot hot hot-- not nearly as psycho as THE HOT SPOT but is dead on contender for the Kim Novak / VERTIGO prize as the cool ice queen with the ability to melt the screen. What a great noir style film, even though it's predictable and clichéd by today's standards. Hell, this was old back when it was made in 1989! Treat Williams plays a private detective set up to take the fall for the murder of Virginia Madsen's wealthy husband. This isn't rocket science, but it is a fun ride. Except-- until you get to the end. No real spoilers here, but the ending plays out in broad daylight, no thrills, no surprises, no tension. Sorry to see that. It almost feels rushed and faked, as if the original ending was too oblique and the producers whipped up this dumb ass replacement at the last minute. It ruined an otherwise decent little thriller.

The singular fate of a detective victim of a trap stirred up by a grasping woman. It is necessary to wait almost for the end of the film so that the intrigue is finally put. In the meantime, one misses, in spite of the presence of Treat Williams and Virginia Madsen ("Hot to Trot").
