  i can't stand how predictable some thrillers can be.
  there is always the clue, some quick edit, or low angle shot, some hint in the dialogue that tells you how it will end that most people completely miss, and i'm always like "well that's how it will end i hope it's entertaining getting there"

  characters so stupid that you keep thinking the entire time "these people can't possibly be this stupid can they? sell the secrets to russians? wtf -- give me my fucking money back."

  • still talking about burn after reading– emukid1/4

    so in essence you've misrepresented your purpose in this thread.– 7point342/4

    not really. that movie is just fresh on my mind. i will think of more examples.– emukid3/4

    the title should have been "things that emukid hated about 'burn after reading' "– 7point344/4

  I recently saw No Country For Old Men (totally awesome and original) and it made me hate all the things you guys have mentioned even more.

  Far too many twists, where you get so lost that you end up turning your laptop on and rubbing a sly one out seen as the movie was about as good as a fucking raping.

  Anybody remember the preview for the film: The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit ?

  

  I never saw it, but my friends saw it and told me that everyone in the movie gets what they want without any problems and it just ends.
