Starring: Jon Malkovic, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Frances McDormand
A sex addict, exercise instructor, ex-CIA agent, and a woman desperate for plastic surgery; what do these people have in common? Not much, other than being thrown into a movie together. There are famous actors and some funny moments in the movie. Aside from that it was an extremely slow moving film with a ridiculous and pointless plot line.
The movie begins with Jon Malkovic's character getting fired from the CIA. Several men are sitting in an office and Jon walks in and is told he is being fired. He freaks out for a long while, making about a 5 minute scene. The scene is then followed by him at home drinking. There is a party at his house that night and the audience finds out his wife is cheating on him with a married man. At this point in the film you begin to wonder if there is a point to all this.
The unfortunate thing is that there really is no point. A woman who is unable to afford plastic surgery comes across some information that her and a coworker believe is valuable. They use the information to try and get money; blackmail. The information that was found is really the memoirs of an ex-CIA agent, Jon Malkovic's character. The last few scenes of the film basically show you how everything fits together, but it does not really make sense even then. It all just seems absolutely ridiculous. Basically, in the end two innocent men are killed and the government gets involved. The conclusion is that the woman gets her money in order to pay for her surgery.
This type of film may be funny to some and even enjoyable, but I found it to be an hour and a half of my life I will never get back. It was long, drawn-out, and totally pointless. The emotions likely to be experienced while watching this movie include but are not limited to anger, annoyance, confusion, and frustration. My advice would be to avoid this movie, but if you are unfortunate enough to own it do yourself a favor and burn it.
