''Burn After Reading'' is a 2008 [[Black Comedy]] film written, produced and directed by [[The Coen Brothers]], starring [[John Malkovich]], [[George Clooney]], [[Tilda Swinton]], [[Frances ~~Mc Dormand~~]] and [[Brad Pitt]]. Best summed up by critic James Christopher as a "brilliant joke about a staple Hollywood genre. It is a surreal satire about spy thrillers. Indeed, the spies and thrills don't add up at all. The plot is a total mistake. The characters are madly absurd. The film shouldn't work, but it does."
