Curious little crime thriller based around a disfigured criminal that has a major face lift, almost like an early version of 'Face Off' really…

Stanley Kubrick, a famous director, turns into a dirty old man before he dies. This movie is probably about his own fantasies…

Review of Requiem (2006)

By Martin Rubin (4) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 12 Nov 2006

The nonsensationalistic results are also somewhat ho-hum--and oddly less convincing than Friedkin's lurid mess, let alone the elegant satanism…

Review of Contempt (1963)

By Ben H (1,875) on 25 Mar 2013

This is not satire. This is self-indulgence. Godard's 'Contempt' is a lifeless, soulless trudge full of conceit and pseudointellectualism…

More Reviews of Burn After Reading

Strengths: The most appealing thing about this film is watching some of the most talented actors around as some very zany characters…

This Coen brothers' Burn After Reading is one of the insane black comedy films ever…

Burn after watching as well. This movie stinks and isn't worth remembering. (First and only viewing - In my mid-twenties)…

An unfortunate low point for all involved…

The Coens are having none of it…

Disappointing after experiencing…

Remember a time you told a joke that you thought was hilarious only to be met with a smattering of polite chuckles…

Disappointing after experiencing…

A film rife in hyper-satire is redeemed by the fitting analysis of such events by two CIA executives, David Rasche and JK Simmons, which adds…

It was pretty stupid but I had a good laugh…
