Burn After Reading is a weird movie. It takes everything that makes a good spy flick and turn it on its head. You can't help but incredulously laugh at what happens. This is all about oddballs.The good. Excellent acting. Totally off the wall characters, actions and situations, yet completely logical. Story with twists within twists. Well paced scenario. Solid dialogs. Nice action.The actors. George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, and John Malkovich play disturbingly crazy roles stuffed with delusion and heavily dosed with stupidity. While Richard Jenkins, David Rasche, and J.K. Simmons seem almost out of place as the standard bearers of reason.The bad. Since it's so bizarre, it won't please everyone.The ugly. Nothing.The result. Offbeat and cooky comedy. Don't think you'll see your run of the mill kind of film and you'll have fun.

This is one of the best dark comedies ever made! There is only one thing that rubs me the wrong way and I won't spoil that otherwise I love this Coen brothers quirky masterpiece. I originally saw this in the theater, that was fun, I still can't believe it's been 11 years now since 08. So beyond well written and very cool camera shots; Burn After Reading makes me feel so damn good! Also I absolutely love the music and excessive use of profanity!

Darkly irreverent and irresistible, these quirky characters range from the blissfully greedy to the incorrigibly irascible while blindly following their predilections to inevitably ruinous destinations but they do so in a remarkably indelible fashion. This film breaks the rules with extraordinary glee.
