So this is a weird one. "Burn After Reading" never really took off. Its funny in parts (thanks very much so by Brad Pitt) but its completely bizarre. Fans of "Fargo" will like this but the casual movie goer probably will not. The plot makes little sense and even though it seems to start to come together about 3/4 into the movie, it never really does. The movie is best described by J.K. Simmon's CIA agent character in the end:"So what's the point?" Simmons asks a fellow CIAer.
"I don't know, sir."
That's basically "Burn After Reading". Somewhat entertaining but what's the point?
SCORE: 5.2/10
