Terrific, barking comedy thriller, with the essence of a later Hitchcock like Torn Curtain. We watched it almost exactly ten years ago - rather unfairly neglected it. Great cast: Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt (who's very funny), John Malkovich, Richard Jenkins, David Rasche, J.K. Simmons.
Plot involves discovery of what looks like CIA secrets in a gymnasium, and a cheating ex officer. Scene with wardrobe is stunning.
I always forget it's another one of Chivo's gorgeous bits of photography.
Carter Burwell's music is scored like an ominous and serious thriller, which makes it funnier.
