Ok! The Coen Brothers have done it again. They have a super-hyped movie, with star-studded cast and I became super jazzed with anticipation. Then I saw the movie, and I was left with a empty void of disappointment. Like No Country for Old Men, the acting was on point and believable, but that is the only redeeming quality of the film. Brad Pitt 
shined with comedic timing. The rest of cast, where ok. I thought the chemisty that Tilda Swinton and George Clooney had in Michael Clayton was not evident in
this movie. Frances McDormant and John Malkovich, I guess, did a good job of working with what the characters had of a personality. My disappoinment stems from the fact that I did not care about any of the characters. I thought they were all horrible people, and got exactly what they deserved. There was not one point in the movie, where I was hoping for something good to happen. I just plain did not care and that translated into a big ole fat, "I do not care about this boring movie".

Right on... I agree! The movie kept projecting through scene changes and score that something BIG was going to happen. The anticipation was building but it ended up just a sad, wet, deflated balloon at the end. There wasn't even any camp value to get me through. Just disappointment.
We saw this Saturday and left feeling the movie was exactly what the CIA called it: a clusterfuck. I didn't even get interested in the movie until someone died, which wasn't until near the end of the movie! I'd give it 1.5 stars out of 5.
