Bazzar and great

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2009)

BURN AFTER READING is one of those "love or hate" film. I loved it. As usual, the Coen brothers thought of something unusual and brilliant. The pair are one of a kind. No reason to go into the plot because basically there is no plot. The acting is nothing short of sensational, even the bit players. Brad Pitt is a stand out. Who knew!! He is becoming a great character actor despite his great looks. Let's have more like this for him. The only shortcoming is that certain scenes seemed to end on the cutting room floor or perhaps were not filmed. They should have been to fill out some of the holes, but nonetheless, no biggie. SPOILER ALERT. Also, no one explained what happened to the car Brad Pitt was driving when he went into the house and never came out. Couldn't that explain his absence? Oh well, another minor plot hole. Whatever you do, just enjoy this Coen brothers treat.
