Pretty decent dark comedy. Some scenes left me unsure whether to laugh or drop my jaw. Solid acting from everyone. I loved Malkovich's constant swearing,

"it takes awhile to adjust to the rhythms and subversive humor of Burn because this is really an anti-spy thriller in which nothing is at stake, no one acts with intelligence and everything ends badly".


7/10.

I thought it was a funny, clever dark comedy with superb acting by all. I recommend that everyone see it. When I got into the movie, I didn't know how long the movie was and at the beginning was afraid they would drag everything out. This ended up not being the case.

For the acting alone it is worth seeing but the plot itself was pretty funny.

7/10 plus an extra 1/10 for

for an 8/10.

Typical Coen brothers flick. I though it was great. So many parts of the film had me sitting their thinking to myself...uhhh WTF!?

Clooney - Awesome
Malkovich - Awesome
Pitt - Awesome x 10
McDorment - f*cking wierdo

In all, i give it 8.5 out of 10.
the final .5 given solely because of the final scene of the movie, with the 2 older guys from Langley. Hilarious
