Burn After Reading
★ 6.7/10•2008•1h 36m•R•Comedy•Drama

Intelligence is relative.

When a disc containing memoirs of a former CIA analyst falls into the hands of gym employees, Linda and Chad, they see a chance to make enough money for Linda to have life-changing cosmetic surgery. Predictably, events whirl out of control for the duo, and those in their orbit.
