Burn After Reading

Burn After Reading

In this dark comedy from Oscar winners Joel and Ethan Coen, ousted CIA official Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) loses his recently penned memoir into the hands of a pair of moronic gym employees (Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand) who use it to try to turn a profit. George Clooney and Tilda Swinton round out the cast of this irreverent farce, whose title alludes to former CIA director Stansfield Turner’s book Burn Before Reading: Presidents, CIA Directors, and Secret Intelligence.
