Unveiling Burning Betrayal: A Breakdown of the Netflix Movie

Burning Betrayal, a Brazilian erotic thriller film adapted from Sue Hecker's book O Lado Bom de Ser Traída, is currently available on Netflix. In this article, we will delve into the plot, the cast, and whether it's worth your time to watch.

Love it or hate it, there's no denying the influence that 50 Shades of Grey had in making erotic content more widely accepted. As we move into 2023, Netflix keeps up the trend by releasing a string of sizzling titles.

Three erotic thrillers, Fake Profile, Fair Play, and Obsession, have captivated a large audience this year. Joining this wave of success is a newly released film on Netflix, Burning Betrayal. Despite its recent release, the movie has already attracted significant attention. Discover the intricate plot, talented cast, and whether it's a film worth watching.

What is Burning Betrayal about?

Burning Betrayal, directed by Diego Freitas and based on Sue Hecker’s novel, explores themes of betrayal, courage, and the world of biking. The story revolves around Babi, a woman whose heartbreak pushes her into a realm of risks and self-discovery. Netflix describes the film as reminiscent of "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "Sex/Life."

Check out the trailer below: 

Babi, a successful accountant, discovers that her fiancé has been unfaithful, leaving her feeling furious, devastated, and with no other choice but to start anew. Determined, she hops back on her motorcycle, joins a bike club, and transforms her appearance with a dark hair dye.

In the midst of her journey, Babi crosses paths with Marco, whom she privately refers to as "the hot judge." Their encounter sparks a passionate affair, but Babi can't help but wonder if there is more to Marco than meets the eye. She cryptically tells her friends that he is both obsessed with the truth and shrouded in mystery.

Is Burning Betrayal worth watching?

While it may be too soon for a Rotten Tomatoes rating, numerous reviews have already emerged for Burning Betrayal — and the majority of them are rather unfavorable. Decider advised viewers to "avoid it" and further commented, "Filmmaker Diego Freitas exhibits a fondness for dramatic lighting, but struggles to maintain tonal consistency and coherent storytelling. However, these concerns may be inconsequential if you are primarily seeking a show filled with sensual escapades."

Heaven of Horror mentioned that the style of the content is reminiscent of movies like Basic Instinct, Fifty Shades of Grey, and the Polish Netflix production 365 Days. This means that there are explicit scenes and a lot of nudity involved.

Additionally, it is important to note that although the content is categorized as a thriller, the plot may not be very complex, allowing viewers to easily predict the twists and turns. However, the production quality and the selection of filming locations are visually stunning. It is also commendable that the content stays true to its genre without attempting to be anything more or different.

Some outlets did not dismiss Burning Betrayal, as Martin Cid Magazine stated, "Looking for an erotic thriller? This film incorporates elements of both genres, with a balance between erotic scenes and suspense. While it may not be an exceptional thriller, its unique comedic touch makes it quite entertaining."

In summary, if you're seeking a top-notch cinematic experience, Burning Betrayal may not meet your expectations. Instead, it can be likened to eye candy and may appeal to those yearning for passionate escapism.
