Burn After Reading (2008)
After winning picture of the year for 2007's
No Country for Old Men, you would think Joel and Ethan Coen would deliver a cold hard-bound film. Not to mention it has a very interesting plot, and a solid cast including George Clooney, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, and Brad Pitt. Not to mention that J.K. Simmons is in the movie which is pretty awesome in my opinion. However, even though the movie has an excellent musical score, along with great acting, it didn't really pay up to their earlier work. The movie still deserves extra credit, because the only real thing wrong with the movie was the ending which left you dissapointed, and its failure to really get you into the movie, like their previous work such as
No Country for Old Men. But you have to remember that the Coen Brother's Academy-Award winning thriller was an action movie, not a comedy such as this film. However,
Burn After Reading gets you literally hyped while watching it, and it also has a little Coen magic added in there, but enough for it to fly off the ground.
