Set in Washington D.C., an ousted CIA official, John Malcovich's, memoirs end up in the wrong hands. Namely Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand, two personal trainers at a local gym. Chaos follows as the Government gets wind of their espionage attempts.
If you are a Coen brothers fan I predict you will really enjoy this movie. Although slowly paced, the humor is sharp and blatantly poignant when it comes to our Government. Brad Pitt is hilarious and steals every scene he is in. If nothing else one should see this, just for his performance. Also note worthy, are the scenes with J.K. Simmons and David Rashce--the CIA superiors that are trying to make sense of everything--really funny.
It is a tad crass, nevertheless, the story is really clever and fun to follow--again a bit slow but worthy of your time.
*** Must See
Rated R (for language, some sexual content, and violence)
