First Movie Review: Burn After Reading

Three Comments; Bad Acting, Ugly People, Ridonculous Plot. Don't get me started on how this movie was by far the worst movie I have ever seen. The movie literally revolves around a self-absorbed...or shall I say...obsessed personal trainer named Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand) who wants four cosmetic surgeries but her Insurance refuses to pay for it. When Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt), her co-worker at Hard Bodies gym finds a CD with a memoir of a random CIA lunatic named Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) whom neither of them know, things start rolling down hill from there. One pathetic plot trip after another, characters consenquently get killed over this CD, while everyone is tied together through some misfortune or affair. My first problem with this film is it's very existence. The second however being that good actors were put to a pathetic waste for a sorry monologue and plot. The other issue I have is that aside from the two great actors (Brad Pitt and George Clooney) the rest were negatively attractive (ugly) and had horrible personalities. If I were to rate this movie between a 1 and 10, It would be a -10. Without a doubt, dont waste your time.
