i do not have the fortune of be able to view burn after read in the theatre and but have watch it on dvd and i can say that i be glad that i wait . it not that the movie be bad and but there be several scene that i have to go back and re watch a number of time because they be just so damned funny . the trailer and tv spot for the film would have you believe that this yet another goofy brad pitt film where he run around like a pretty boy for ninety minute and but do not be fool and this film be far more gruesome and much funny that i believe . like any typical film by the brother coen and the film be very aesthetically please and the visuals be great and but what make burn after read an enjoyable film be the dialogue . about 60 minute into the movie and one finally realize that this be not a spy thriller and or a mystery film and but rather a depiction of what happen when a bunch of self center moron be turn loose and run around like chicken with their head cut off and so to speak . the problem be that it really work in this movie and i do not not expect this to be so good . even though burn after read tout an all star cast consisting of george clooney and brad pitt and tilda swinton and john malkovich and the two stand out scene that completely elevate the movie be scene with j. k. simmons and his cia underling . these two scene be without a doubt the best scene in the entire and it worth rent the dvd for those two scene alone . be not deceive and this be not another no country for old men and but this be more in vein of the big lebowski and but it not quite a good lebowski . all of that be say and rent the film it easily an positive film . j .
