Burn After Reading (Blu-ray) Blu-ray, 2008
Availability Delivery Returns Policy
MovieMail's ReviewBurn After Reading is a spy caper of sorts. It opens with a satellite zooming in on the Earth. This isn’t Earth though – not even movie-Earth – the Coens are focussing their attention on a new world of idiots they’ve created for their own malign entertainment. Behind the scenes they’ve prepped an unlikely scenario, designed a selection of flawed characters, wound up their motivation-motors and hit the ‘Go’ button.

Film DescriptionJohn Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, George Clooney and Brad Pitt star in this Coen brothers crime comedy concerning the whereabouts of a sensitive disc containing the incriminating memoirs of alcoholic CIA agent Osbourne Cox (Malkovich). Cox's wife, Katie (Swinton), who is having an affair with married federal marshall, Harry Pfarrer (Clooney), is making plans to leave her husband, and is advised by her divorce lawyer to copy his personal files onto a disc. The disc finds its way via a circuitous route to the Hardbodies fitness gym, where two unscrupulous employees, Linda (McDormand) and Chad (Pitt) decide to exploit their find for all they can get. Events soon spiral out of everyone's control in a cascading series of surreal and darkly comic encounters and misunderstandings.
