i just re-watched burn after reading and it was exactly as i remembered.
really uneven film. the coens tried to get the actors to appear almost slapstick. it mostly annoyed me(pitt pulled it off well). there are a few great scenes, and handfuls of mediocre ones. the script is passable.
i really hope the coens do more comedies in the future. and i would hope they would take some lessons from how this turned out. it could've been special with the cast they assembled.
