Back of fag box film review – Burn after reading

Text of review reads..

Supposed comedy caper following two witless Gym employees that find a cd with the memoirs of an ex CIA agent and decide to blackmail him for its return. If you want to look for the big Coen message in this, it’s basically that we are all dumb, witless, self absorbed idiots making our way through life and looking up or down at others we perceive to be more (or less) dumb, witless and self absorbed than ourselves.

Unfortunately, despite some great performances from a stellar cast, this is a film that just doesnt know what it wants to be and is outstanding for its use of the phrase What the Fuck?, which is how I felt after watching it…
