Joel and Ethan Coen are at the helm of this loopy delight about two hapless gym employees (Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand) who find a computer disc containing "secret CIA stuff" and then try to blackmail the agent (John Malkovich) to whom it belongs. The Coens also wrote the script and produced the film, and served as editors under their oft-used pseudonym Roderick Jaynes. The entire cast gives first-rate performances and also features George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and Richard Jenkins.
