DIRECTED BY: ETHEN AND JOEL COHEN
RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 12,2008
GENRE: DARK COMEDY
This is the definition of a dark comedy. A true work of movie art with this one. If your into the twisted theory of life, then this one's for you. Comes with a crew of great actors: Brad Pitt, John Malkavich, and George Clooney just to name a few. John Malkavich plays as Osbourne Cox, a just fired C.I.A. agent who's wife Katie(Tilda Swinton) is having an affair with Harry Pfarrer(George Clooney). Harry is an internet hoar who meets a lot of women online and has sex with them. Osbourne's personal memoirs end up on a CD and into the hands of local fitness trainer Chad Feldheimer(Brad Pitt). Chad tries to "persuade" Osbourne into giving him a reward to return the CD, but when Linda Litzki(Frances McDormand) gets involved, having high hopes into getting the money she needs for cosmetic surgery, all hell breaks loose. It's just a really twisted dark comedy. While very entertaining it was full of surprises. Favorite dark comedy on my list. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.
