George Clooney and Brad Pitt star in this outrageous spy comedy about murder, blackmail, and physical fitness that critics are calling, "smart, funny, and original" (Ben Lyons, E!).

Ratings and reviews

We loved it. The title sums up the script. Totally irreverent with some topnotch actors getting right into their parts. Brad Pitt is hilarious. George Clooney is hilarious and the Coen Brothers are on top form.

Loved it. Convoluted, funny with great characters and actors. If only real spooks were this funny.

Genius film. One of the best Coen brothers films in my opinion. Stand out performances from all the cast. Particularly Brad Pitt, who steals the scenes he's in. John Malcovich is superb. So funny. Brilliant.
