Burn after reading

My boyfriend and I had bit of a slumber party last night and at about 1am decided to watch a movie. And although he has been a doll regarding "chick flicks", he wasn't up for it again last night. He suggested we watch "Burn after reading". I reluctantly agreed...

My boyfriend said it was an action comedy and I thought it would be something along the lines of "Red". But it wasn't. I found it to be quite creepy and a little bit sick.

Initially it seemed like the movie was made up of a multiple of stories which weren't related to one another at all but slowly but surely they started tying into each other. A long list of bad decisions and lots of selfishness later, two people lost their lives; the only two that seemed to be good and only wanted to help others. How could a demotion at work and the longing to be more desirable have such devastating effects...?

The movies stars John Malkovich, George Clooney and Brad Pitt. It was directed by Joel and Ethan Coen and released in 2008. It was nominated for 2 Golden Globe awards and grossed $19.1 million in it's first weekend.

I wouldn't really recommend this movie to anyone but I guess I do not have the same dark humour as the critics...
