There is some odd casting here and only some of it is successful...McDormand is miscast as an insecure and lonely woman that Sandra Bullock could play in her sleep, as is George Clooney as the emasculated federal agent she's involved with, but truthfully, Pitt steals the show as the gym employee who...

The key performance and the character who starts up this whole stupidity is Brad Pitt's character who is just a dumbass and really sets up the events which the film centers around.

Burn After Reading is a lot of fun , but it's really lacking a big amount of dialogue , characters , and story elements.

While it's no [I]No Country For Old Men[/I], it's far better than the brother's previous comedy, [I]The Ladykillers[/I], and an obvious few notches below [I]The Big Lebowski[/I].

While "Burn After Reading" is good, it's not Coen good and that may disappoint some fans.

It feels like an early draft of what might have turned into another one of their great movies given another layer or two.
