Burn After Reading


An ousted CIA official's memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two unwise gym employees intent on exploiting their find. Starring: George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, J. K. Simmons. Rated R for pervasive language, some sexual content and violence.  


In this spy movie farce,  a series of random events and misunderstandings by a collection of idiots slowly turns into a potential international incident of meager proportions.  George Clooney and Brad Pitt give fantastic performances.  This movie is sure to provide scenes that will have most people rolling.  This is one movie that is definitely worth catching in the theatre.  (if only to share a laugh with dozens of people during key moments)


For those that can't get enough of the Cohens' dark humor, try: The Big Leboski, Raising Arizona, The Lady Killers, Intolerable Cruelty, Fargo, or O Brother Where Art Thou.  

Grade: B
