Two gym employees try to sell a disk containing an ex-CIA agent's files.

This movie is pretty funny, its very serious in a hilarious way. Every character is intertwined with the other, and to see how they kind of come together is funny. It reminded me of "The Departed" except way more funny. Lots of situational humor, like the way brad pitt talks, he could say anything and its funny. George Clooney is really a weird guy in this movie, its kind of strange how he gets into everything. The ending is really funny too, it was like a huge conflict throughout the whole movie, then at the end it kind of showed how insignificant everything really was on the scale of things. This was a good, short, comedy, with some big actors. It was nominated for 2 golden globes. 7 1/2 out of 10
