Burn After Reading

Caught this over the weekend. Besides the slight niggle that every profanity was censored in the cinema it was playing in, I hugely enjoyed this. As a spy spoof, I suppose it is dead-on with the intelligence community running around like a chicken without a head. I suppose I should complain that one somewhat likeable character gets offed (there aren't really any likeable ones otherwise) pretty early. Dunno how it stands with other Coen Bros comedies as Fargo and The Big Lebowski, maybe not much, but passes the time better for me than the more serious fare such as No Country for Old Men. And the George Clooney character, with the trawling randomly for sex and paranoid of men in black, gives me deja vu about myself.
