Burn After Reading User Reviews

I thought it was hilarious but you have to pay attention. Its not a movie for the ADD crowd. Nothing blows up or anything. I think the actors in it pitched it to the wrong crowd but its a brilliant story and well played out on screen.

The movie wanders around a lot, its more on the dark humor side than funny, its a comedy by a long stretch! In the end its irony and sarcasm that you come out with. It is trying to show you how screwed up the folks that are supposed to be in control are (read CIA), and how far they are out of control/understanding of what they are supposed to be in on top of. Ho-hum...yawn! Better than Tropic of watchumacallit movie.

Someone said this movie had dry humor. Dry like a fig leaf that has sat around for about 6 months. The movie meanders and goes nowhere. The theater I was in was filled to capacity and the laughter from the audiance was not there. Such a good cast and nothing to show for it.

This movie is a dark comedy with few good moments to make it worth watching in the theatre. Save your money and wait for it to come out on DVD. This movie is a rental at best.

I want my 2 hours and money back. It starts out funny and involved, and then all of this sick killing starts. There is something wrong with people who make a movie in such a way that they make brutal killing a comedy for the audience to laugh at. No matter how good or bad a person might be, it is never a funny thing for that person's life to end in a brutal/bloody way. This movie reminded me of the absolutely horrendous "Fargo" where they wanted you to think it was funny that a man's partner was in the wood chipper. These directing brother's have a sick sense of humor. We have enough of this psychotic crap in the news and out on the streets. We don't need to pay and lose two hours of our life for the same stuff that two idiots trick you into thinking is "funny, funny, ha, ha". What a shame that all of these gifted actors were talked into starring in such a mentally twisted movie. DO NOT SEE THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE A REALLY DEMENTED, SICK SENSE OF HUMOR. This movie is not even worth 1 star.

I loved this movie!!!!!!! It was soooooo funny!!! I went into the movie with very little expectations...but left thinking how entertained I was watching it!! The cast was awesome and their characters were so great. If you like darker humor and unexpected twists, then you will love this movie!!! Also, if you want to see Brad Pitt acting like a total goof ball, again you will love this movie!!!

Burn before viewing. Chaotic and pointless, not at all funny, despite the top notch cast.
