Burn After Reading
Ethan and Joel Coen /2008 /USA/UK/France /96mins /cert 15
The Coen brothers indulge in their love of screwball comedy again in this twisted tale of blackmail, betrayal and the human capacity for stupidity. Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt are excellent as out-of-their-depth blackmailers hoping to fleece John Malkovich's snooty CIA man in exchange for a confidential CD. George Clooney comes along for the ride as a trigger-happy sex-mad Treasury agent.
