Burn after Reading

Today, under an enormous rain cloud i went to see Burn After Reading, the new Coen brothers film. i had read good reviews and was greatly looking forward to it yet i didn't enjoy it. i couldn't even really tell you why, i just know my mind kept wondering off and when it came back i realised i hadn't missed anything. There were no surprises and the plot was so coen brothers-esque that i felt like i had already seen it. i may be being a little harsh but when i went to the cinema to day i was hoping for a bit of escapism and entertainment and found very little of either.

I have heard this from sooo many people....why is it that when it comes to the Coen Bros...I just refuse to believe a movie sucks until I see it for myself. It's not like they haven't sucked before (i.e. Barton Fink)...
