Burn after Reading
I was really disappointed. I'd wait for the rental. I liked all the movies the Coen brothers did in the past but this one....not so much

Re: Burn after Reading
My wife actually pulled me into seeing that movie. We thought the storyline was brilliant with some subtle comedy. Overall, we enjoyed it. But it's something you would only want to watch once.

Re: Burn after Reading
Boy that is the truth. What was the point of the whole movie? I wanted my money back after that one.

Re: Burn after Reading
That movie sucked. The first half is a light-hearted comedy based on an amusing premise of mistaken assumptions. The second half is a uber-violent spy thriller. The way they are mashed together was about as artful as Frankenstein's monster. It's like they started the movie based on a funny situation, couldn't think of a way to wrap it all up consistently, so they threw in some gratuitious violence to kill off the key players, and called it a day. Very amateurish. Thankfully I only invested one Netflix rental in it.

Re: Burn after Reading
I don't think that the movie was necessarily bad. Wasn't great, however enjoyable in some parts. I think that the movie was overhyped and that they showed the best bit on the commercials/previews.
However, I will admit, and I'll try not to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but the incident with Brad Pitt near the end was a surprise.
