Excellent movie. There's a slight tone shift about an hour into it, but I still thought it was hilarious. It's a dark comedy... not very light at all.

Agreed. Saw it the other night. George Clooney excellent in this movie.

**robertsona** · 09-13-2008, 08:27 PM

Okay just saw it.
It was good. Yeah there was a tone shift with it. I kind of liked it a little less from there, though I still liked it. The plot was a little convoluted and the ending was quite abrupt IMO. It was also ****ing hilarious, ESPECIALLY Brad Pitt's character. The part where he first found the files was so funny XD. It was cool overall. And yeah pretty dark.

Brad Pitt usually rocks in the movies he is in. Can't wait to see it. Seems like it has good reviews

Looks similar to the Ocean's series. Haven't seen the series but ive wanted to. I might go check this out.

Chad's death scene goes down as the funniest death ever to grace the screen.

Fantastic movie. A little slow paced, but still quite fantastic.

**basicdrummerman** · 09-14-2008, 08:41 PM

i liked it lmao
death by hatchet :/

dawg4321 · 09-15-2008, 09:49 PM

one of the saddest movies i've ever seen. very dark comedy indeed. excellent movie though.

AkromaKyle · 09-22-2008, 01:32 PM

I loved it.
I don't think I've seen anything like it.
Or ever will.
The end part is so funny, where it realizes what the movie/ situation itself was.

I thought that it was a great movie, although a little dark at some times. Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand were great together, and made the movie. George Clooney had an amazing performance in this. I thought that it was funny that they tried to get money from the American government, failed, then went to the Russian Embassy. That part made me chuckle a bit. And after the CIA found Chad's body, they were just so careless with it. Overall, I'd give it a 8/10.

P.S. Dildo seat.

ive yet to see it but from what you guys say i probably will

Movie is incredibly funny. It turns from easy going to dark... really fast. It surprised me at least.
