“Burn After Reading” (Sept. 12)

It would be awfully hard for Joel and Ethan Coen to top the Oscar-winning “No Country for Old Men,” but that doesn’t seem to be their goal with the spy comedy “Burn After Reading.” This one finds the directing duo mining laughs from a quirky cast, including Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand as gym employees who recover the secret files of a former CIA official (John Malkovich) and look to profit in any way possible. George Clooney and Tilda Swinton also star.
