7.0 / 10

Osbourne Cox, a Balkan expert, resigned from the CIA because of a drinking problem, so he begins a memoir. His wife wants a divorce and expects her lover, Harry, a philandering State Department marshal, to leave his wife. A CD-ROM falls out of a gym bag at a Georgetown fitness center. Two employees there try to turn it into cash: Linda, who wants money for cosmetic surgery, and Chad, an amiable goof. Information on the disc leads them to Osbourne who rejects their sales pitch; then they visit the Russian embassy. To sweeten the pot, they decide they need more of Osbourne's secrets. Meanwhile, Linda's boss likes her, and Harry's wife leaves for a book tour. All roads lead to Osbourne's house.

I think this was a George Clooney's film, but Brad Pitt was the best part. It really was a hilarious film on the whole. The CIA don't know and don't care as long as they don't have to do anything. As a matter of fact they prefer to do nothing. All the people are bunch of bumbling idiots with no redeeming qualities. Gotta love that. Brad was funny as hell. The man is a great comedic actor. - @Thursday, July 31, 2014 8:23 PM

This trailer is a little depressing; it looked so good but relative to the Coens' other works it was merely just a passing amusement. - @Tuesday, July 2, 2013 5:44 PM
