Don't "Burn After Reading"...

Rating: 5/10 (11 August 2013)

OK, the Coen brothers have given another black comedy with great characters definitely. But come on, how different is this movie from their former movies? The same old game with humor elements in it like Lebowski, Intolerable cruelty etc. still couldn't get anywhere near Lebowski because of poor characterization, in my humble opinion. No character is typically likable in this. The positives in this movie would include dark humor esp by Clooney but still not enough laughs. The bottom line is -- worth watching once but don't even think of burning a disk/ getting a copy after renting this movie. You may even hate Coen brothers after watching this one.
