Burn After Reading

I caught this in the States on the night before we left. I’d been intrigued by the plot in that it all seems to snowball from the discovery of a data disc with confidential data on it. Two hapless eejits played by Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt try to blackmail John Malkovich’s character and in doing so set off a bizarre series of events. Pitt and Clooney get the best parts but there isn’t one actor miscast in the entire film. I’d recommend seeing it here when it comes out in a week or so.
