Burn After Reading (2008)

Posted on 04:26 by uthpa
Recommended
USA/UK/France
Feature Film
Writer/Directors: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Cinematographer: Emmanuel Lubezki
Composer: Carter Burwell
Cast: George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, Richard Jenkins, Elizabeth Marvel, David Rasche, J.K. Simmons

Coming across like one of the Coens’ typical morality tales, only without the moral (a trend continued from No Country for Old Men), this cynical farce, chronicling the path-crossing misadventures of several middle-aged CIA operatives and gym workers, is a cracking little film, and the brothers’ funniest effort for quite some time.
