Our favorite things are food and movies, when combined, it is just adorable. Burnt might be your preferred state of food but the title suggest not about food. Its about a famous Michelin starred chef who was disgraced due to his way with drugs in France. Now the movie starts off with him rehabilitated and wants to make a comeback.
He retraces his steps back to win another Michelin Star, his second and he is adamant about getting it. He got back his former crew and arrange for a restaurant with his former investor. Finally he launches his dream only to be haunted by his past. These are some of the kinds of struggle our chef goes through in the film. Lots of twists and turns befell Adam Jones, the hero chef in the movie but you can see him struggling hard to overcome them. This is what makes this film endearing.
Bradley Cooper is great as Adam Jones here. A chef with eye into details, with an eccentric personality to boot. He shouts to show is displeasure like the ones we see in Masterchef, he praises rarely as well. His love for his craft is clearly shown here as much as he loves his sous chef , Helene.
The film ain't technical so don't expect Masterchef quality entertainment here. It's not as entertaining as the movie Chef (starred by Jon Fabros) but this is the darker side of it. What Chef sanitizes because he was with his kid, this movie lets loose Adam Jones' ego and anger into the audiences. If you want to see his struggles and wins, then watch the movie. Its nice to see how his journey for his second start ends. Will he get that elusive star?
