An all-star cast, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and John Malkovich, come together in this outrageous spy comedy about murder, blackmail, sex addiction and physical fitness!
When a disc filled with some of the CIA's most irrelevant secrets gets in the hands of two determined, but dim-witted, gym employees, the duo are intent on exploiting their find. But since blackmail is a trade better left for the experts, events soon spiral out of everyone's and anyone's control, resulting in a non-stop series of hilarious encounters!
From Joel and Ethan Coen, the Academy Award winning directors of No Country For Old Men and The Big Lebowski, comes this brilliantly clever and endlessly entertaining movie that critics are calling smart, funny, and original.

Such a hilarious film, but so under-rated and under-achieving at box office. Seeing Pitt and Clooney as bumbling average joes, and the excellent Malcovich, made for a great spectacle. I thoroughly enjoyed this in the cinema, and can't wait for the blu-ray. I'd highly recommend giving this a go..
This film is a showcase of talent. Not just the star studded cast but the directors, they have again done a brilliant job with yet another fantastic movie. The narrative is brilliantly told, smartly shot and breaktakingly put together. Brad Pitt is perfect as the average working class guy, Clooney is perfect as the sleazy husband and Malkovich is just brilliant. The scene with Pitt and Clooney is a highlight, really amazing.. I can't really describe how perfect this film is without giving too much away.
If you're a fan of drama, thrillers, dark comedies, the coen brothers, or just smart movies.. this is a modern classic (well, it deserves to be).
Good movie by the Coens. In Comedy mode again after the Dark Drama of No Country for Old Men. Not on Par with the Classic Raising Arizona or The Big Lebowski but MUCH better than Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers. The story is pretty silly but works due to the acting and writing. The performances are good and bad, Pitt is Hilarious, Clooney is Quirky, Malkovich is Brilliant, Frances Mc Dormand starts off well but gets annoying and Tild Swinton is annoying in ALL her scenes.
Not Clasic Coens, but good nontheless.
This is Coens best movie, the story is outstanding and the actors at their best (especially Pitt and MacDormand). I just love it.
This movie is genius. It is what i like to call intelligent humour. It is not an obvious comedy. The story is very dark aswell. As someone mentions below its not one of those you will watch again and again. But it is one to have in the collection, as certain scenes leave an impact on you as you want to stick it on from time to time.Brad pitt stole the show in this movie. It is quite slow moving, but the story does have you gripped from beginning to end. It gets a 3star from me, as it was a bit far to serious for me. They should have left it to being a comedy. Just a warning if your expecting Clooney and Pitt to share a screen together like OCeans eleven trilogy they don't. My advise is rent this movie, rather than buying it straight away. But definately worth a watch.
