An all-star cast, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and John Malkovich, come together in this outrageous spy comedy about murder, blackmail, sex addiction and physical fitness!
When a disc filled with some of the CIA's most irrelevant secrets gets in the hands of two determined, but dim-witted, gym employees, the duo are intent on exploiting their find. But since blackmail is a trade better left for the experts, events soon spiral out of everyone's and anyone's control, resulting in a non-stop series of hilarious encounters! From Joel and Ethan Coen, the Academy Award winning directors of No Country For Old Men and The Big Lebowski, comes this brilliantly clever and endlessly entertaining movie that critics are calling smart, funny, and original.

George Clooney, John Malkovitch and Brad Pitt at their best
A very funny and clever farce - a black comedy of many errors which has tragic and sometimes violent circumstances.
The Coen brothers new film Burn After Reading has been met with a mixed reception following its premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Playing out as a dark comedy, the film has an exemplary cast, including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Frances McDormand and John Malcovich. However, whereas critics fawned over the Coens' last film No Country for Old Men, the new movie is getting a much cooler response from some quarters.
