Simmons has a hilarious cameo as a bewildered CIA supervisor who is shocked to learn that no lessons were learned by the agency. While the intelligence community grows concerned that Linda will attempt to leverage her knowledge of Cox’s memoir for some high stakes access, it’s revealed that she wants nothing more than her precious plastic surgery. The film really excels with its ending, as it gets to reflect on how meaningless the entire controversy was. One of the biggest shocks comes early on when a confused Harry accidentally shoots Chad while it’s sad to see such a fun character go away, it’s such a major detour from what was expected that it instantly leaves the audience guessing, as no characters are safe. However, Burn After Reading removes that sense of earnestness altogether for a film that’s just as violent and hopeless as No Country For Old Men. The Coens have always done a great job at balancing the heart and humor within their films while there are moments of off-kilter violence played for comedic effects in Raising Arizona and O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the films end with more explicitly sentimental elements. The disappearance of the disk makes him even more neurotic, and Clooney has fun with the role when Harry’s obsessions get weirder and weirder.
Harry is such a shameless womanizer that even though he’s constantly having affairs (he’s married, but continues to pursue both Katie and Linda), he’s constantly worried about being watched or discovered.

Simple moments like Chad dancing in his car are just hilarious. He expresses a childlike excitement towards finding the disk and an eagerness to help, not realizing that he’s vastly in over his head. While there are certain perceptions that some audiences may have about a “workout bro” being such a central character, Chad isn’t toxic or attempting to impress anyone with his physique.
Chad is an absolute goofball, who despite his kind-hearted nature manages to get everyone into deeper trouble. You cant help but incredulously laugh at what happens. It takes everything that makes a good spy flick and turn it on its head.
