Review of Burn After Reading (2008) by Stewartq. — 11 Sep 2008
It's okay to admit that the Coen Brothers missed the mark on this one. Really, no need to pretend that the ending was not a baffling disappointment with more loose ends than a grass skirt. Sure, Brad Pitt was mildly funny but the film is full of gratuitous suspense and self absorbed intricacies that ultimately lead nowhere.
Whether it is intended as a black comedy, a satirical farce or an espionage goof, it is a hollow effort all around.
