Burn After Reading

Burn After Reading

Who's in it: John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt

What's it about: Osbourne(Malkovich) has just lost his CIA job. His wife, Katie(Swinton), is sleeping with her friend, Harry(Clooney). When she begins to file for divorce against Osbourne, she gets all of their financial info on a disc. Chad(Pitt) finds the disc and thinks that it contains classified information. Chad and his friend Linda(McDormand) decide to hold the CD for ransom. Harry begins to date Linda and when they start to get close, events happen and things start to get ugly.

What I Think: This movie was a complete waste of time. The only funny things about it were Pitts character and Clooney's chair. Those things kept you laughing. The storyline sucked. The acting was horrible. The themes were disgusting. It was basically a horrible movie. It was even worse when the events began to turn for the worst. Clooney wasn't even that good looing. Not one of his best. Pitt was great and I loved him. The only thing that I got out of this movie was that cheating on your significant other is bad. I must say that Malkovich really liked the f word!
