Burn your brain reading this!

"What a crap!".,, "Moroons!!!" That's I would have replied to the people sitting next to me who probably came to the movie only because they saw Clooney and Pitt on the poster or because they wanted to try the new theater from the mall. "You didn't get a thing!" Back to the movie (Burn after reading) - it was a smart one! Well done and played! It starts as a serious movie to satisfy my neighbors, but as soon as you see Pitt playing Chad you get it. It's an ironic movie, it's a good and smart comedy.

There are people dying, "the agency" works without understanding what it's doing, but it gets rid of dead bodies, only because it has the know-how on that.... and all these happen because of four cosmetic surgeries. And it's not about politics; the Russians still need information, but they don't chase it in the way they did before, and they stay quietly in their huge building from DC, meanwhile Americans kill each other. And yes, it's about weaknesses. The fired agent is terminated because he has an alcohol problem, and not because of the Russians, and the other public worker steals the first agent's wife, and not secret information. And the spies are private detectives that try to get information for divorce trials or guys "in black" who get all together to arrest one blond lady driving a red car. Meanwhile, Putin is watching everything from the picture hanged on the walls of the "Mickey Mouse" Embassy.

Clooney and Swinton, serious and dramatic enemies in Michael Clayton, want to play around with you and to convince you that this movie is serious staff too, but Swinton is just a physician who cheats her husband (with Clooney) and steals money from Malkovich (the husband). Clooney is a handsome guy, he looks for adventures and he is addicted to sex and "exercise".

Otherwise, there is good weather in Washington DC. There are only two shooting sounds, and the TV stations talk about Oliver - the kids' hero-cat. Meanwhile, the agency classifies the file without understanding what secrets they classify and what they shouldn't do "next time". But the most important thing is that everyone was eliminated: the last witness chose to collaborate, so that she could get those four cosmetic surgeries.

I know. You didn't get a thing from what I wrote. Then, go and see the movie! ;)
