Joel and Ethan Coen return with a new film based around the hot topic of Government agents losing critical data. When a CIA analyst's memoirs fall into the hands of two ambitious employees of a fitness centre a chain of darkly hilarious consequences ensue. With a stellar cast (John Malkovich, Brad Bitt, Tilda Swinton, George Clooney...) this sounds like it could be a return to the offbeat comedy genuis of The Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou? after the Coen's darker, Oscar-winning turn last winter.
