This was such a non-movie. Really, as if they realized at some point it was crap and stopped filming, having the guy at the end tell what was about to happen in the last 30 minutes.
Clooney was fantastic, Pitt looked like he was replaying his "True Romance" character a bit (ok), McDormand was just unwatchable as she played the same faces again, but her character was a bad concept in the first place.
I don't like Malkovich but he was good again. So was Swinton.It's still better than "Ladykillers" or "Raising Arizona" for that matter.(can't stand the latter for some reason and it's not the Polish jokes haha)
"Intolerable Cruelty" was better - dumb comedy, but with a story and a few twists. "Big Lebowski" was a multilayered storytelling masterpiece on the other hand.
"Burn After Reading" was just a few overdrawn characters tied together without a proper story. It was OK to watch, but it ends with an "ok, where's the film then?".
