Burn After Reading is the Coen brother's (Joel and Ethan Coen) first original screenplay since The Man Who Wasn't There back in 2001. Their urge for comic taste, creative violence and a slightly mocking eye for detail are very much visible in this movie. The main star casts of the movie are George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand and none other than Brad Pitt who has just won his second best actor trophy today at the Venice Film Festival. Now what great cast, so how can you go wrong?

It is a great spy film, and it's hard to think of anyone less suited to a life of crime than Pitt's character Chad. Chad is a bouncing puppy of a man; a fitness trainer at Hard Bodies gym and the best buddy of fellow Hard Bodies employee Linda (McDormand). Linda has an aching loneliness inside which she attempts to fill with unrewarding hook ups on Internet dating sites and the dream of a new life bought through extensive cosmetic surgery. But all the butt-sculpting and face-stretching that she requires comes at a price, so when the gym cleaner finds a disk that appears to contain what Chad describes as "top secret sensitive shit", Linda scents the chance of a windfall and Chad skips happily along beside her.
