Burn After Reading: Review By SCREENWRITER

Okay, so I’ve wanted to see this movie since the trailer for it came out last summer. I never got the chance to see it in theatres but i just rented it on "On Demand". Let me tell you this...."Burn After Reading" is AWESOME! It is a very dark comedy/drama that makes no sense what so ever. Doesn't it just sound awesome?! It does make some sense but most of the movie isn’t really explained till' the end and it when you see the actors/actresses act in this movie, you'll see how dumb people are. lol. So i'll say this.... SEE "Burn After Reading". Not only does it have an all-star cast but it is funny, dramatic, and suspenseful! So SEE IT! And if you don't, you'll be making the biggest mistake of your life! Belive me! George Clooney and Brad Pitt make a reunion in this ranchy-dark-comedy, they haven't been in a movie together since "Ocean's Thirteen", BUT however, Brad Pitt and George Clooney don't even have any scenes together in this movie so its like there both in two different films. BUT, they did play two different characters. I also liked this movie because every character has a different story. You've got the "Womanizer", "The Idiot Gym Employee", "The Dateless, Worrying Gym Employee who is on a search for the right man", "The Married Man Whose Life is completly in the drain", and a few more characters whose characterizations are different and some how connnect with each others parts. The Coen Brothers create a amazing, funny, suspensful movie that any moviebuff can enjoy!

ACTING/PLOT: [SPOILERS]

The movie stars many great actors and actresses. George Clooney plays Henry, he's a sex addict who is going to divorce his wife to have a life with another women. George does a great job as Henry. His character is funny. George Clooney is in movies such as "The Ocean's Thirteen Series", "Micheal Clayton", "Leatherheads", "The Good German", and many, MANY more! Frances McDormand plays Linda L., she's a gym employee who belives that several surgeres will help her find the man of her life. The only way she can afford the surgeres is if she sells the disc. I'll get to that later. Her character is very WEIRD and funny at times. She does we'll, as usual. John Malcovich plays Osbourne Cox, he's pretty much the main man in the movie. Sorta! The disc/memoir he created is out of his hands and in the hands of two idiots and he must get it back. He has just lost his job, on the virge of losing his wife and he seems to have a drinking problem. John does a great job as Osbourne. John Malcovich is in movies such as "Con Air", "In The Line of Fire", and a few more i can't think of. I'm goanna skip talking about Tilda Swinton because i hate her personally as an actress. SO, lets get to the funniest and BEST performance of the movie....BRAD PITT! He is completly hilarious in this movie and i hate how he only has about four scenes. OF course, Brad characters, Chad, had to get shot in the head and die. PERFECT! NOT! I just wish Brad had more of a role because he is the reason i love this movie. He's completly hilarious. He's a dumb gym employee who tries to sell Osbourne's memoir with the help of Linda L. Brad Pitt is in many movies such as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "The Mexacan", "The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford", "Babel", "Seven Years in Tibet", and he's in the "Ocean" series with George Clooney. We'll people, the acting in this movie is just great. I even SORT OF explained the plot in this paragraph.
