burn after reading

I watched Burn After Reading tonight. I'm not sure what to make of this film. Its definitely not one of the Coen Brothers' finest works, but at the same time, its not bad. The ending felt like a betrayal, as they kept building up the tension only to essentially let all the air out. The performances were decent, although it also felt like there were a few too many extraneous characters, with little to contribute. One interesting touch is that not a single one of the characters was the least bit likable.
