Burn after reading

There is no fool like an old fool.

Its a film for the middle aged, George Clooney's US marshal, with acid reflux. Who carries around a pillow, to his love nest. He can't eat goats cheese. Swinton is having an affair, and Malkovitch has his bottle.

Tilda Swinton is a shrew. A successful English doctor, married to John Malkovitch's CIA operative. Malkovitch, is a boozy CIA officer. An ex Princeton Alum, who is told he has a drinking problem, by a Mormon. He quits

Frances McDormand as Linda Litzke. Who is sick of internet dating. Who wants 50 000 dollars worth of plastic surgery.  To reinvent herself, she

``The face the window to the soul''

Brad pitt, is vacant, empty. Juvenile. As Chad. Its a startling performance. There is an absence. There is no subtlety. This is a man, over his head. Manipulated by a middle aged gym assistant.

His confrontation with John Malkovitch, is wonderful. He steals lines from the ``President's men''

JK Simmons as the bewildered CIA chief wraps up everything. meeting with David Rasche, TV's Sledge hammer. Oh and the dad from 6 feet under
