Burn after reading - film review

The latest Coen Brothers film, Burn after reading, has had some rather average reviews but I enjoyed it. It was apparently written as a character piece with specific roles created for the stars of the film who include Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Frances McDormand and John Malkovich (to name but a few). As if to cue, they all overact amazingly.

It's funny. Every character is unpleasant. The plot doesn't go anywhere. It's not the Big Lebowski or Fargo but it is great bubblegum entertainment.
