Watched this one on Monday.
Plot Summary - Dark comedy about a just-fired CIA agent, Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich), who begins to write his "memoirs", loses the disc at local gym "Hardbodies", which is then found by gym employees. Employee Linda (Frances McDormand) is a middle-aged woman busy doing Internet dating and "re-inventing" her life - she needs money for several plastic surgeries she's gung-ho to get. Employee Chad (Brad Pitt) is a musclehead gym boy with not a lot of brain power. Linda and Chad decide to try to get a reward from Cox for the return of what they believe to be secret and important CIA documents. Everything seems to backfire on them though, as they progress to trying to get money from the Russians for the disc, stuff like that. Meanwhile a marshal named Harry (George Clooney) is having an affair with Cox wife, but that doesn't stop him from meeting women on the Internet.
Review - All the different characters and stories seem to mix together in this film in a way you would think would be confusing, but actually was easy to follow. Quite good, I found John Malkovich to be pretty amusing in this. Rating - 8.5/10 stars
