Burn After Reading was a strange movie. I liked it, but when it was over, I thought to myself (in an Osbourne Cox voice) "whaat the fuuuck?"
I won't even try to recap it or type a synopsis. If you've seen it, you've seen it.
These are my thoughts:
1.) Brad Pitt is really funny in it. I had never seen a Brad Pitt movie before and didn't realize he could be funny. He made me LOL, particularly during the phone call scene and the car scene.
2.) I still hate George Clooney. Seriously, he is terrible. He overacts the hell out of his role and I have no idea if he was supposed to overact, or if he just sucks that bad. I'm going with the latter, but I am blessedly unfamiliar with Clooney's work.
3.) Malkovich. Is. The. Man. I love him in this!! Every scene he is in is epic. From the opening scene, to the crazy final scene. He made me laugh. And no other man could make a bathrobe look sexy. It just can't be done.
I fell asleep the first time I tried to watch this, but it wasn't the movie's fault. It's just that I'm tired by the time the house is quiet and still enough for watching a movie to become a reality for me. I picked up where I left off the following day, and must say I enjoyed it.
Except the ending which kinda sucked. Did they just decide they had gone as far as they could with this story and should stamp a "shit happens, the end" onto it?
Because that's how it seemed.
