Viewing Notes

Crossed off another recent blindspot with the Coen Bros.’ Burn After Reading(2008). While this film does have its moments and some stellar acting from an ensemble cast, I wasn’t in to it. It kinda just ebbs and flows but never peaks. Bit of a disappointment. I’ll def need to revisit again someday.
