Critic's Notebook

If you are willing to turn a blind eye to the inherently hackneyed nature of "The Burning Plain," though, the film turns out to be somewhat rewarding.

Knowing ... that it's a 20-year old story, one can only conclude the idea behind the film would have been best left unfilmed, an unfinished step toward greater things.

Throw in enough symbolism to choke an English-lit major and you have a film challenge that too often feels like a chore.
