If you are a fan of the Coen brothers you’ll love this film. This is a story of some crazy, oddball characters all coming together in a farcical story about missing CIA files.
Osborne Cox ( John Malkovich), dictates his spying secrets onto a computer disk, which ends up on the floor at the Hardbodies Fitness Centre. The disc is found Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand), she and her Hardbodies buddie Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt) set out to squeeze $50,000 out of Osborne or go to the Russian Embassy.
Meanwhile, Osbournes wife is bonking treasury agent Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney), a sex crazed, paranoid, hypochondriac and as you can imagine it all goes disastrously wrong.
The characters are brilliant and they are really well acted, particularly Brad Pitt who plays the Gym Instructor Chad, he had me in stitches!
8/10
