Burn After Reading – a terrific movie. By no means as hilarious as described - instead it’s about "how it happened" - the economy. Not the subprime mess, not even greed - just a basic corporate need to "keep it simple" - "fit in" and "be on-side".

Script is smart. Not fast moving, but a growing story of related incidents. And as they grew with some parallel – the opportunity of tying it together was refused, defused. Closed. Next.

So simple its scary. As would be expected - it’s the conclusion that’s dryly hilarious.
