Storyline:
Osbourne Cox, a Balkan expert, is fired at the CIA, so he begins a memoir. His wife wants a divorce and expects her lover, Harry, a philandering State Department marshal, to leave his wife. A diskette of Osbourne's musings falls out of a gym bag at a Georgetown fitness center. Two employees there try to turn it into cash: Linda, who wants money for elective surgery, and Chad, an amiable goof. They try to sell the disc back to Osbourne, who has a short fuse, then they visit the Russian embassy. To sweeten the pot, they decide they need more of Osbourne's secrets. Meanwhile, Linda's boss likes her, and Harry's wife leaves for a book tour. All roads lead to Osbourne's house.
Burn has a lot going for it. As with most Coen Brothers' movies, this spy spoof has a brilliantly quirky story, full of interestingly flawed characters. The plot moves along with enough action never to be boring. The performances and direction make the movie well worth your time. Unfortunately, there's a missed opportunity here. Nothing ever really takes off like you would expect or want. Watch This Movie Online..
