Adam Jones (Bradley Cooper) is a chef who destroyed his career with drugs and diva behavior. He cleans up and returns to London, determined to redeem himself by spearheading a top restaurant that can gain three Michelin stars (www.imdb.com).
Director: John Wells (The Company Men)
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Daniel Bruhl, Oma Sy, Emma Thompson
Critics have panned Burnt, and, after watching it, I can see why. The biggest reason; Bradley Cooper's Adam Jones is an absolute jerk, and I mean Gordon Ramsey, 'I don't give a toss about anyone' kind of jerk. Burnt, which was originally titled Chef, is difficult to watch because its leading character is incredibly unlikeable. Try and stick with it though, as Burnt really develops into an appetising drama, with a hot twist and some fulfilling characters. One thing it won't do, is make you hungry.
3/5
