Burn

...melding analysis on grand modern issues (communal anxieties and economic uncertainties) with a dynamic visual style, all within a framework of personal and collective professionalism at odds.

The brisk pace and sharp humor in Burn After Reading is a welcome relief after weeks of witless comedies and overblown action flicks.

Doogie’s hopefulness provides some contrast but also something of a poignant metaphor for the film’s other focus, namely, the multiple effects of Detroit’s economic and social declines.
