follow their hugely successful and equally brilliant no country for old men the coens have return to their all too familiar territory represent the black comedy . the good news be that their approach be different than in case of intolerable cruelty and the ladykillers and which be in my view less work for their mass appeal orient humor . with burn after read the biting satire be back represent plastic surgery and internet dating and body building or shaping and the marriage adultery divorce triangle and even the cia be all target that get their fair share of the coens poison arrow . a always and a terrific cast support this endeavor . first and foremost brad pitt have to receive special credit and not only for be the funny of the lot but for willingly make a complete fool of himself for the role and do it brilliantly . actually this shouldn not come a a great surprise since he be equally hilarious a mickey in snatch and also a jeffrey in twelve monkey but this time he funny in a completely different way . and this be a quality great actor share represent always show something new and something we haven not see before . a for the rest of the cast it seem that the male get the funnier part and malkovich be great and clooney be good ( somewhat reminiscent of the character he play in o and brother ) and while france mcdormand could have be funny ( hear name be spot on though ) . other highlight include all the scene that take place at the cia ( the conclude dialog between jk simmons and david rasche be a killer ) and the first phone conversation between pitt and malkovich be deadly and too . so and what we get be a true coen style black comedy that provide numerous laugh and altogether great entertainment . and if you want to search for something meaningful beneath all this fun and you will find that the movie be about how egoistic and lonely and lose we be when we elbow each other out of the way to accomplish our petty goal . it may not be as strong a the big lebowski but nonetheless prof that when it come to sarcastic humor the coens still stand way above the rest .
