Could I Really Give This a 9?!?

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2019)

Now, giving a film a 9 is sacred to me. It means the film I am reviewing is the best of the best. I don't think I've considered any movie a 10 yet, so my 9's are very coveted.
Would the world hate me if I gave this a 9? I am going to go ahead and do just that. This is Coen Brothers at their very finest. It's a fun, small, simple little tale. Nothing great happens of any consequences whatsoever. Perhaps not even symbolically that I could put together. But it's masterfully done.
A CIA executive gets fired for being an alcoholic, and takes to writing his memoir. His wife is cheating on him, and a lowly gym fitness coach finds his USB in the locker rooms containing useless coded files. A bribery ensues between the gym employees and the ex CIA agent, and I may have already said too much.
The movie is entirely pointless, but is done in a very comedic way. Even writing this review, I am unsure of exactly what the movie is about. The actors play their characters very well, and the storyline keeps you entertained all the way through. A pleasant, pleasant film.
9 stars. One of my favorites.
