Burn After Reading

Started by Howard Beale4 pages

Really funny dark comedy, another absolute success from the Coens. Pitt is just fantastic and provides almost as many laughs as Downey Jr. in TT, also clooney and Malkovich are entertaining and add their bit. Frances McDormand is fine, not great. Although I think the great J.K. Simmons has been going unnoticed in his fantastic cameo appearence as the FBI head.
all in all, funny, fast paced, and most importantly ludicrous. 8/10

🍺 I really dont see why the critics rated this movie so highly,I seen it when it first came out,then came across it at the videoshop the other day and thought I would see it again,just to see if I were missing something....I weren't 😬 It entertained me I guess,but this film deserves nowhere near the credit that it has got,I found all the characters expect Clooneys annoying and irritating,yes thats Including the moron pitt was playing as well,and didn't really find the movie funny at all,Maybe 1 or 2 parts were worth a slight chuckle, how anyone can label this movie humorous though,is kinda beyond me 😬 Apart from maybe 1 or 2 standout scenes,the movie really felt like a waste of time.

Indeed, probably the Coens' weakest film.

As much as I love Brad Pitt I never really got into this movie and got very confused in most parts.I will have to watch it again to see if I get it.

This movie sucked hardcore. Not even nearly funny, I switched it off about half-way through.

Clooney's invention was the highlight of the film.

Dildoes make me laugh.
