Burn After Reading

The Coen Brothers do it again! This movie is in the Fargo genre, if you loved the humor of that movie. It is wickedly and disturbingly funny with a little violence thrown in for laughs (it has it's wood-chipper moments).

Brad Pitt is hilarious as a beautiful, "blonde" gym trainer. Frances McDormand is great as his sweet, dingy partner in crime. George Clooney is another Coen brothers regular who is great with Tilda Swinton, who's at her bitchy best again. And then there's John Malkovich, who kinda steals the show and is just delightfully tortured and funny. There really isn't one thing I hated about this movie! It's probably my favorite Coen brothers yet.
