A Box Office Fall 2008 Film Treat!

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2008)

What a great cast, film and writing in BURN AFTER READING and the dark and cynical sense of humor of the Coen Brothers shines through in this marvelous parody on the American spy industry. All of the cast are simply superb in delivering lines and character development that keep you laughing from one scene to another. Loved the D.C. location shots of Georgetown side streets, beautiful colonial and brick buildings and the interior shots. John Malkovich is such a scream in this film, and Tilda Swinton's dead pan face and lack of humor in contrast to Clooney, Pitt and McDormand is so entertaining. BURN AFTER READING is my vote for the funniest, darkest and wittiest film this Fall 2008.
