Burn After Reading
This is not as funny as the trailers made it look, though it has it's moments. I especially liked the reports. If you see it, you'll know what I mean. It's a Cohen brothers movie. Go expecting sudden violence and dark underbellies. By the end I wanted to have a shower for having started out liking some of them. It was worth watching, but I think i would have liked it better if my expectations better suited the film. I do not like it as much as I like No Country, but I appreciate a good genre deconstruction as much as the next person and this did a nice job deconstruction heist movies.
