  6. 'Burn After Reading': Violence outweighs wit and laughs in Coen brothers' 'No Country' follow-up

    The dour espionage goof &quot;Burn After Reading" offers a few laughs, most of them provided by Brad Pitt as a serenely clueless gym employee who really, really likes his iPod, and by David Rasche and J.K. Simmons as CIA analysts who don't know anything about anything. On screen, delusional schmoes are more fun than smart people, and in the latest film from Joel and Ethan Coen, the imperious former spook played by John Malkovich accuses his blackmailers, played by Pitt and Frances McDormand, of heading a "league of morons." Washington, D.C., here is a town built on a swamp of stupid, and as in all Coen japes, stupid has at least a 40 percent chance of getting you killed in spectacularly violent fashion.

  9. 'Burn After Reading' Is Mid-Range Coens

    The best movies by the Coen brothers are deadpan essays in dark comedy, with intricate plots and memorable character performances. Those traits apply to their worst films as well, devilishly dry character studies that can seem like an inside joke between two closer-than-close siblings.

  11. John Malkovich is the rage in Coen brothers' 'Burn After Reading'

    CALLING from, as one might well imagine, France, John Malkovich is measured, urbane and dryly witty. And yet, when <a href=&quot;http://topics.latimes.com/entertainment/people/coen-brothers">Ethan and Joel Coen</a> wrote him into their upcoming "Burn After Reading," it was as a burned-out former CIA analyst prone to fits of apoplectic rage.
