Burn After Reading (2008) Netflix
When a CD containing the draft memoirs of disgruntled ex-CIA analyst Osbourne "Ozzy" Cox is accidentally left at a Georgetown gym, two clueless employees — the scheming Linda Litzke and the amiable, dim-witted Chad Feldheimer — see a quick payday. Convinced the disc holds valuable secrets, they try to shop it to anyone who will pay, driven in Linda’s case by a desperate plan to fund cosmetic surgery. Their amateurish black‑market antics entangle them with Cox, his unfaithful wife Katie’s affair with a government marshal, the Russian embassy, and the CIA itself. What begins as a petty scam rapidly escalates into a series of miscommunications, petty vendettas and violent mishaps, turning ordinary lives into a darkly comic, chaotic mess.
