BURN AFTER READING
I have mixed feelings about this Coen brother's movie. The cast was great, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Frances McDormad & John Malkovich. The plot was ok enough, and it delivered quite a few laughs. The film was about how a disc that was found in a health club set off a chain reaction that affected the lives of many characters.
The trouble I had was with how it ended. Instead of getting to see the final results of the lives of a number of important characters, we were just "told" what happened in a conversation between two minor characters. Cheap. The movie could have delivered but totally dropped the ball.
Despite the humor, this was not at all a happy, light hearted film. It was pretty much a dark comedy, rated R for a reason, and I can not whole heartedly recommend it. Maybe as a rental. Has anyone else seen it? I like to get some other opinions.
