Burn After Reading Review

Overall Rating

I'm not sure what to make of this film. I had high hopes for it, had heard good things, but it didn't live up to my expectations.

At times i found it was boring, cringy or just not very plesant. Then the next moment something would happen that really made me laugh - these moments were few and far between however.

I did think Brad Pitt was very good, he played his character well and looked about 20 years younger than he really is. That was probably the most impressive thing about this film.

Although the plot isn't really complicated,i think it doesn't always make very much sense, or flow very well. You never feel like you really get anywhere with it and i was left just feeling a bit let down and confused.
