Burn After Reading
“Intelligence is relative.”
When a disc containing memoirs of a former CIA analyst falls into the hands of gym employees, Linda and Chad, they see a chance to make enough money for Linda to have life-changing cosmetic surgery. Predictably, events whirl out of control for the duo, and those in their orbit.
Directed by Robert Graf, Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
