#20 "Burn After Reading"

This movie was somewhat disappointing. I agree with a statement that was made to me that this film feels like Coen Brothers Lite. Without a doubt while watching it you know it is one of their films as it has the feel of "Fargo," "The Man Who Wasn't There," or "Barton Fink." However it just feels a bit empty. Kind of like a throwaway that they put together to pass the time. I would list high points of Brad Pitt and JK Simmons, and down points to George Clooney, and the unflushed out point of Americans and their obsession with beauty. I would say if you are a fan of the Coens to rent it when it comes out, however it certainly falls in the middle of their catalog as far quality.
