**Overall : Too many moments left a bad taste in my mouth to enjoy Burnt as much as I wanted to.**
The beginning of Burnt reminds me of the beginning of a heist movie. Bradley Cooper assembles a team made up of the best of the best to achieve the ever elusive 3 Michelin Star restaurant. The early scenes' energy and promise filled me with excitement, but unfortunately, the sheer arrogance and unlikeability of Cooper's Adam Jones drained the film of most of its charm and ability to enjoy it fully. I didn't find myself wanting Adam Jones to prevail. Thankfully, there is some character growth and development, but the road to get there was much more unpleasant for the audience than necessary.
