IT;s NOT MY VIEW ASK Mr. HERMIT HE WILL KNOW ALL REVIWERS AND HE CAN TELL WHOSE TAKE IT IS


I am huge fan ofcoen brothers the wickedness is always there . I like the combination of cloneyand pitt which is the reason I saw the movie. Anyway the movie is highlypublicized Because of such a star cast and director, but if you watch it withhigh hopes than it will disappoint you else it is well nice time pass.

In Burn After Reading, Bratt is only the one to admire. It’sfun to watch formidable actors like Clooney, McDormand, Malkovich and Pitt playthe fool. Coen Brothers film has its predictable pleasures. Few filmmakerscombine such confident visual style with humorous, characteristic screenwritingtricks. But here it is wasted a bit.


The story, has some of the of twists like Fargo. As inFargo, the people making the wrong decisions – spreads to become a kind of amist, fog, even in the city that supposedly governs hearts and minds worldwide, brains are fuzzy, the simplest acts of interpersonal communication are risenwith difficulty, and even the CIA hasn't got a clue what's going on.


Washington DC is the main center point with its brownstones, parks, country mansions and fitness clubs. One of these is the crowded Hardbodies gym where Litzke(McDormand)works alongside her gutless colleagueChad(Pitt). When they find a CD containing the classified record of furious, alcoholic CIA agent Osborne Cox(Malkovich), a blackmail scheme arises.Meanwhile, Cox's cold, mean wife Katie(Swinton) is having an affair with Harry(Clooney), who is obsessed with potentialfood allergies and also beds women he meets online including Linda.


The script was written(I think) with the cast in mind, andit works. Like the Oceans trilogy, Burn After Reading has feel good factor hasas much to do with A-list actors having fun as it does with comic timing, specially, Bratt pitt., who is gyminstructor, . Clooney is workout freak and sex-obsessed marshal who don’t knowtill ending that he is in love with hiswife, while McDormand is solid as a no-longer-young single woman lost in thedating’s cruel world, who has all her hopes on cosmetic surgery. Malkovich andSwinton, are less enjoyable. The directors encourage their stars to play itbroad. Shocks in the movie make a well mix with the laughs, and the victims arelargely disposable. It’s a black comedy just perfect time pass but with storyand actors provided which are excellent, director and editor lost the soul ofmovie. If that wouldn’t be the case than the movie may become much entertaining like the character ofBratt Pitt, short but remarkable.
