Burn after Reading, a return by the Brothers Coen to their "idiot" genre, follows a bunch of likable loons around Washington DC and environs for 96 entertaining minutes.
The folks in Burn after Reading are not people that one should consider inviting home for dinner, or marrying one's eldest daughter.
Can following idiots around for 96 minutes be entertaining? If the guides are the Coens, yes.
BaR is good escapist entertainment, brought to Blu-ray as a quality disc. Will this film be discussed in fifty years. Probably not. But for the moment, get it while it's hot on pretty Blu.
