What do you get when you combine multiple award winning actors on one screen? In this case, a movie that has all the elements of a comedy, drama, thriller, date movie, or horror film, but can be categorized as none of the above. With a cast this big, this movie seems to lack a bit. The overall tone is the same: this film never quite gets moving fast enough or goes far enough but does have its entertaining elements – adultery, spying, murder, car chases, exercise, and, of course, top secret intelligence.

This film highlights a myriad of characters all intertwined in each others lives and while they don't quite know it yet, as the movie unfolds they start to realize it and realize they are in big trouble. When Brad Pitt (Chad) and Frances McDormand (Linda) find some top secret information, they decide to use it to earn some cash for themselves by exploiting the owner of the material to the Russians. Yes, the Russians. Everyone gets involved and these amateurs find themselves in way over their heads.

What is most interesting about this film is seeing some of our favorite actors in different roles. Pitt plays an adorable goofy personal trainer, McDormand a hopeful internet dater with shrewd negotiating skills, and Clooney a weak weasel who happens to be quite the carpenter. Malkovich excels as an eccentric drunken elitist and Tilda Swinton is perfect as the intense dominating woman in control.

Burn resembles 2000's Snatch but without the charm or wit. Although the cast is tremendously talented and there are a few twists that will shock and keep you interested, it may be better to rent this one after its screening.
