Burn After Reading- Movie Review

Burn After Reading Movie Review

1. Though ‘Burn After Reading’ is as much a nightmare as it is a comedy. The movie has a gripping storyline, that will keep your interest straight through out the movie. The movie definitely has a different storyline and concept. Above all I guess the main positive point about the movie is its actors. Character actors who have done impeccable performances in their roles, I mean beside others, we were not expecting Brad Pitt, in a role like this. But then there are no doubts that he has done a good job. The movie also has good comedy and some very good action sequences. Overall, it is a good movie and I think everyone should watch it, at least once.



2. One of the best dark comedies I have seen after ‘Arizona’. A very gripping story and superb performances by Brad Pitt and John Malkovich. It is a typical Coen brothers movie. I enjoyed the movie, but I have a suggestion, all those who don’t like dark comedies and linear plot should not go for this one.
3. I have generally liked all Coen brothers movies. But surprisingly enough, I didn’t like this much. No doubt that the acting was really good. Brad Pitt, Malkovich and Clooney, all of them did an amazing job. But beside acting I didn’t like the storyline. I felt that it was too slow and was being dragged. I would simply like to sum up by saying that it had interesting concept and good acting, but it was poorly executed.



4. It is a good movie, only if you understand the dark comedy.
5. Brad Pitt was the best part of the movie. I went to see the movie because of him and he was very good in his new role. Amazing work Brad, you were too good. John Malkovich and George Clooney were also good in their roles.
