Please be advised that my rating system is R to X-Rated as it mentions an adult toy. Now that all of you have jumped ahead to read the rating system here are the particulars:
DIRECTORS: The Coen Brothers.
CAST:
John Malkovich as a bitter terminated CIA analyst writing a memoir (Osborne Cox)
Tilda Swinton as the adulterous wife of Malkovich (Katie Cox).
George Clooney as Swinton’s faithless lover (Harry Pfarrer).
Frances McDormand as one of two dimwitted gym employees who meets George Clooney
on an Internet dating site. (Like that will happen) (Linda Litzke).
Brad Pitt as the other dimwitted gym employee (Chad Feldheimer).
Richard Jenkins as Pitt’s and McDermand’s boss (Ted Treffon).
PLOT:
A disk containing the memoirs of a CIA agent ends up in the hands of two unscrupulous gym employees who attempt to first extort money from the agent and then later attempt to sell the disk to the Russians.
REVIEW:
A good story. I liked it better than I do most Coen brothers' movies. Malkovich is amazing as he always is. I also liked Pitt's performance. Some romance. A lot of troubled relationships. Some relationship twists and turns.
I did have trouble with some of the lacking of details. Blood automatically disappeared from a shooting scene. The movie was supposedly set in 2008 yet an excerpt of Family Feud was shown on a TV with Richard Karn as the host, John O' Hurley has hosted Family Feud since 2006. Normally the Coen brothers would pay more attention to details.
There was the normal Coen brothers violence in the movie.
RATING:
One football for the gratuitous use of a dildo that would no doubt destroy the self-image of any man watching the movie. The more men with self-image problems the better chance I have.
One football for Malkovich.
One football for Pitt.
One-half football for Jenkins.
Three and a half footballs. Not a bad movie. Just don't take your kids our your elderly parents.
