"Intelligence is relative."

Overview

When a disc containing memoirs of a former CIA analyst falls into the hands of gym employees, Linda and Chad, they see a chance to make enough money for Linda to have life-changing cosmetic surgery. Predictably, events whirl out of control for the duo, and those in their orbit.

The Coen brothers really seemed to enjoy making this dark comedy. Great ensemble cast . It really is just good solid entertainment and some great cynicism.
