INTRO/CAST:
Burn After Reading was actually funny. I say that because i usually dont like these type of movies but i thought this was a fair movie. This movie stars George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, Tilda Swinton and Richard Jenkins and it is directed by the Coen Brothers.
PLOT:
An ousted CIA official's memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two unwise gym employees intent on exploiting their find, and chaos ensues!
WRAP UP:
I have to say though that the first 30 minutes of the movie was a bit boring but the comedy came after that and it took off from there. I love how at the end the CIA head guy had not idea what was going on and there were so many plot details and thats what made the movie funny. I have to say the Coen Brothers did a good job. This is my favorite movie by them for sure. Overall Burn After Reading gets 2 and a half stars out of 5 and a B- on the grade scale. I SAY SEEE IT!
