Gallery: Burn After Reading

After the success of No Country For Old Men, the Coen bros. return to their dark comedy roots with this star-studded tale of theft, deceit and gym instructors.

The plot surrounds the world of the CIA, physical fitness in Washington, D.C., and internet dating. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tilda Swinton and John Malkovich all star in the caper, which is much lighter than previous Coen fare - When a former CIA agent gets a divorce, his ex-wife inadvertently copies his memoirs onto a computer disk, which ends up in the hands of would-be blackmailer, Brad Pitt.
