No wonder most Americans think this movie sucks

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2010)

To me this movie is about desperate people correcting their problems wrong. Not because the're extremely stupid (...) but because they have never been taught better. There are similarities in the way the CIA (the highest power in the film) handles problems (just cover it up) with the way an unhappily married person (middleclass,an aggressive divorce FUELED BY HER LAWYER)and a physically insecure person (lower class,plastic surgery)do it. Left alone the way Clooney is "correcting" his ways by building the ultimate sex-machine for his wife. They all cover things up in an unusual way.
The troublemakers are all pretty paranoid. Some before,others in the process and others after the 'S' hits the fan. That's why I think it's more paranoia and unawareness than stupidity what drives these people. The only one doing it right is Malkovich because he is getting in all those situations without asking for it. After losing his job he resides to his boat to enjoy the real world and quality time with loved ones he doesn't cheat on his wife and has a very strong personality....though maybe he drinks a bit too much.
The one who is stupid for sure is the lawyer's assistant, she loses the disk in the gym. Every scene at the law firm is important because they show the way classified information is misused and get's a whole other meaning when in someone else's hands.
Very cool movie, critical and therefore maybe not a cinematic masterpiece but to me definitely a killer Coen!
