''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 DormandMcDormand]] 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."
 
[[John Malkovich]] plays a [[CIA]] analyst who gets fired and starts writing his memoirs. When some gym employees find a copy of his memoirs on a CD, they think it's top secret information and hold it ransom. Chaos ensues.
