Hi again everybody!
We had a 1 week break, that's why I couldn't post anything last week but we're going on from where we stopped. The movie that I'm going to talk about this week is a 2008 crime comedy named "Burn After Reading" which made me laugh a lot and which has an incredible cast including John Malkovich, George Clooney, Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt. The film was directed by Joel and Ethan Coen Brothers, the directors of Academy Award winning "No Country For Old Men".
The movie starts with the sack of an analyst named Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) from CIA due to his drinking problem. After his being fired, he decides to write a memoir about his job in CIA. His wife Katie Cox (Tilda Swinton) ,who wants to divorce Osbourne, copies his husband's personal work onto an optical disc at her divorce lawyer's office but the lawyer's receptionist forgets the disc in a workout gym. Then, an employee of the gym, Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt) finds the disc, assuming it contains some highly qualified information. He tells about the disc to his fellow employee Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand) and they decide to use the disc to blackmail Osbourne Cox. Things get even more complicated when a womanizing treasury agent, Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney) who has an affair with Osborne's wife, gets involved in the story.
The film's budget was $37 millions and it grossed $130.4 millions totally. The movie's IMDB rating is 7.5 out of 10.
My personal note: Brad Pitt plays the stupid very well in this movie.
In conclusion, if you're interested in comedy movies combined with drama and crime, I say you had better watch this, you'll love it!
Here is the trailer of the movie:
