Stupid people do stupid things and get in over their head. Yup, it's a Coen film.

Rating: 3/10 (12 September 2008)

-MINOR and VAGUE spoilers-
Burn After Reading is Fargo without the snow and wood chipper. Someone stupid does something stupid and gets other people killed for absolutely NO reason, and it all leads to a literally non-existent ending. Even though the ride has it's high points and keeps you interested, it goes positively nowhere, leaving the viewer with a well-that-was-fun-but-pointless feeling. Even a character in the MOVIE said that nobody learned anything. But wait, it's a Coen brothers film, which means it must be gold.
If you're a Coen brother fan, you probably won't be disappointed. If you're not, Burn After Reading will not convert you.
