Burn after reading

In the modern cinema, is a constant phrase: The Coen brothers make good movies. That goes for his latest output, record after the reading. With a cast headed by George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Brad Pitt and John Malkovich, Burn After Reading is like a dark night of comedy with enough shock and awe to any Buff film of the jaw on the floor.

The film opens in the middle of a well-lit corridor with the sound of dress shoes clicking against the marble floor. When the owner of the shoes, Osborne Cox (Malkovich), is forced to leave his post as a low-level CIA agent, the mania begins.

The plot expands when Cox's wife (Swinton) decides to divorce her husband by her lover, Harry (Clooney). At the suggestion of his lawyer, that copies of a disc of all Cox's financial records, which falls into the hands of the idiot of Chad and Linda (Pitt and McDormand). The dynamic duo dimwitted attempts to blackmail Cox.

What makes this movie so damn watchable is the freshness of the performance and the quirkiness of the script. Pitt and McDormand are impeccable as an idiot Wannabe pair of criminals, and no other actors could have played the roles of Harry Cox and fairly, as well as Clooney and Malkovich.

The Coen brothers, known for his long series of excellent films, including Fargo and last year's Oscar sweep No Country for Old Men, have hit another home run with burns after the reading. The dialogue is on the ground, and the twists and turns are anything but predictable. Just wait until you see what Harry is building in his basement.
