Burn After Reading
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.

Don't Bother
Absolute Rubbish. Silly story line and silly ending. Don't bother! Even George Clooney and Brad Pitt were a dissapointment. Waste of time.

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. The Guardian's critic wrote: "There are smart films about smart people,... Read more
