Burn After Reading (2008)

I love the Coen Brothers as much as anybody, but seriously, this movie was all over the place. The only thing I can think of is that the point of the movie is that there was no point. It's pointless on purpose. An exercise in futility.

Dark humor only works if it's funny, and this script rarely was. A story unfolded which held my attention. That's all it did. I could have just as easily been watching the Home & Garden network for a couple hours.
