Burn After Reading

The Coen Brothers rule! They do so many things so well, but I really love when they do comedy. I especially love when they do comedy with fairly stupid people in it, which is often. And if not stupid then crazy. Or both. Well their new film, Burn After Reading has quite a cast. It's also the first time they're not using their mainstay, and one of my personal favs, DP, Roger Deakins. Apparently he was busy, but they hired Emmanual Lubezki so they aren't exactly suffering. The film is about an ousted CIA agent whose memoir falls into the hands of two dimwitted gym employees and they are determined to exploit him. I love when Brad Pitt plays dumb or incompetent and seems to be in full stride here. This is a Red Band Trailer so put the kids in the other room, just in case.
