The story is all over the place, with Brad Pitt and John Malkovich clearly stealing the show. This movie contains great acting including superb performances by Brad Pitt and John Malkovich. The story is somewhat silly, but that is okay if it is made to be entertaining. There are a few interesting scenes, but that is about it. Frances Mcdormand is cast as a self-absorbed neurotic that I had no sympathy for. Brad Pitt does a great job as a half-crazy personal trainer. George Clooney, as a womanizing-adulterer/ part-time inventor did what he does best, entertained. The best character in the whole movie is JK Simmons as the CIA boss. But they can't save this movie.
I've seen many of the Coen brothers' movies and enjoyed. The only reason I gave this movie a "B" is because I would hate to give the Coen Bros. a "C" after all the great films they have done.
I didn't like this movie at all.
Yes! thanks for sharing your thoughts and personal point of view.
have a nice day.
