Burn After Reading (2008)
Cast: George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt
Director: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Genre: crime, comedy
After their Oscar winning turn last year, The Coen Brothers are back
with the new film, this time comedy/crime/spy story which is very
funny, very dark, quite angry, at times surreal, always ironic and to
put it simply a must see for any Coens' fan which means a fan of great

Old Men, their new film may seem much lighter and provides many laughs.
But keep in mind, it is comedy: Coens' style and it means that not
always the most likable characters get what they look for. As much as
the film is funny, it actually paints very disturbing picture about
stupidly, idiocy, incompetence, inability to see one step ahead of your
actions that keep filling every aspect of our existence with dangerous
speed. I loved it – from the very first scene to the end. I laughed a
lot, enjoyed the dialogs and the acting. How could I not with the dream
cast that include John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, George Clooney,
Francis McDormand, and very funny and deliciously clueless, Brad Pitt,
and many familiar faces in the small cameos. George Clooney who has
made three films with The Coens got the funniest scenes, and gave IMO
one of his best performances. John Malkovich has got to come out of his
semi-retirement and act more. His every appearance in the film as
forced to quit his job, very angry CIA Analyst who then decided to
write a memoir, was a blast. Tilda Swinton as an arrogant icy cold
professional woman, and Frances MacDormand as Linda who would stop at
nothing in order to "re-invent herself", both added to the film's
multiple deligh…
