love Litzke but everybody else annoys me

Rating: 5/10 (12 December 2015)

CIA analyst Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) quits after being threatened with a demotion for his drinking problem. His dominating wife Katie (Tilda Swinton) is secretly having an affair with federal Marshall Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney). Katie decides to divorce him and copies his computer files. The CD gets left behind at a gym which is found by its employees. Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt) is an idiot trainer and Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand) is desperate for money to get plastic surgery. Chad tries to get some money for the highly secret files.
I get that the Coen brothers don't always have likable characters but the people in this movie really annoyed me. The only exception is Frances McDormand. She is adorable in her desperation. Richard Jenkins is likable by being connected to her. Brad Pitt is trying too hard. John Malkovich is good at bombastically annoying but Tilda Swinton is too cold and distant. If this movie starts and centers on Litzke, I would like it a lot more.
