Surprisingly, I didn't like this film as much as I thought I would. The acting is superb however, with Brad Pitt and John Malkovich clearly stealing the show. George... Full Review

One of the best dark comedies I have ever seen. The story is all over the place, yet the Coen brothers find a way to bring it all together at the end. This movie contains... Full Review

Burn after reading was quite possibly one of the biggest wastes of my movie dollars ever! I typically like Coen Bros'. comedy-style - dry humor, etc. However, this... Full Review

Just what I expected from the Coen Bros. The art of the dark comedy was lost until Fargo and they knocked the ball out of the park again. I'm so tired of non-intellig... Full Review

Burn is a good movie to go see at the bargain showings. The movie was marketed as a comedy, and it is not. I am a fan of Coen Bros., and I have enjoyed their movies up... Full Review
