Watched it today. Pretty enjoyable as long as you don't go in expecting too much, which was tough to do knowing it was a Coen brothers film.

I don't recommend watching it with your mom.

yeah I'd second that. Posted on 12/5/16 at 10:48 pm to Hawgnsincebirth55
It was a big disappointment for me given the quality of the cast.
With that being said, there are a handful of hysterical scenes which are on part with the best the Coens have ever made.

That was a total wtf moment

I like it a lot. I have it as an upper tier Coen film. It was different, but the pieces worked. It was supposed to be silly - a spy thriller with nothing at stake, nothing and nobody was saved and nothing was learned.

I agree, but all the performances were great - the Coens are "actors'" directors, which is why they tend to get elevated performances - particularly considering either the silly tone or subject matter of many (not all) of their films.

The best scene of the entire movie, imo, is at the very beginning when Malkovich gets canned. Had me rolling.

I watched the movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago. That scene got me in a totally different mood. That's when it went from goofy to being pretty dark. The suddenness of the shift was itself pretty funny.
I guess if you are expecting greatness like Lebowski or No Country then you might be disappointed, but I still thought it was very enjoyable. Same for The Ladykillers. Even bad Coen brothers movies and pretty fricking good. It seems like Netflix added a bunch of Coen brothers movies on this last update. I also rewatched Oh Brother Where Art Thou recently.
