Burn After Reading

The Coen brothers are still probably coming down from the cinematic victory they scored with No Country for Old Men, and a film with both Brad Pitt and George Clooney seems like a pretty good way to do so. The plot revolves around some misplaced government files and process of retrieving them. It sounds serious, but the trailers suggest that it's more of a comedy than anything else. Hopefully, the jokes are a little fresher than the ones in Ocean's 13. Oprah humor isn't exactly breaking new ground.
