Burn After Reading is not your typical spy comedy movie and that's what makes it genius. This sub-genre tends to attract silly romcoms like Knight and Day or slapstick spoofs such as Johnny English, but if you're looking for a more subtle take on satirical espionage then this new Netflix movie is well worth watching. Like another Coen brothers movie called The Big Lebowski, which is my favorite zany comedy from the filmmaking duo, it has an outlandish plot that snowballs into absurdity with subversive humor to keep it lighthearted along the way.
