Candidates in the U.S. general election have to stand up with the whole family from time to time to show that they complement each other and are happy and harmonious.
The promotion of family values ​​in mainstream American film and television dramas also spares no effort. The family is the last harbor and a wetland that must be protected.
In this film, the family is not worth mentioning.
There is no even irony and teasing, just take it for granted.
At the beginning of the film, at a party, the bald-headed agent man who was fired was very angry and full of foul words. His wife stood aside and helped hold his stinging head.
Everyone was laughing and joking.
Behind you is you coming out of the wall, I am cheating, the oriole praying mantis, it is fun, and it seems that the water has flowed for a long time.
Including the internet lover who has always looked miserable while watching movies and going to bed, and the weight-loss woman peeking at his wallet, there is a note in it: Don’t forget to bring me a honey-core meal.
It was undoubtedly his wife's advice.

The Coen brothers are good at being serious and not slipping into comics.
The usual practice is to spare the pen and ink in the boring place, and to pass the key points in a flash.
For example, Brad Pitt died in the closet for a while, and he stared in front of the room, walked over the wall, and sneaked into the room without skipping a step.
Hashimoto Clooney went upstairs with a whistle, took a bath and dressing for a long time, and then flashed back to the closet.
Open the closet, conditioned reflex is a shot.
Brad Pitt was so blood splattered on the spot for unknown reasons.
Then Hashimoto Clooney himself was so scared that he ran downstairs, and he slowly drolled back upstairs in his heart for a long while, trembling: "HELLO?"
In front of the closet, he sold an estimated waste. An ugly side roll that has been used for many years or never.
Picking up the gun, reopened the closet, and fiddled with it for a long time.
But Brad Pitt lay straight, his face hidden in the pile of clothes, and he never showed it again.
Even if you don’t think about the death of an outdated and useless state secret, it will inevitably be too light as a feather.

The actors and characters themselves are enough to constitute black humor.
The agent man has a bald head. Many agent characters in the movie rely on this bald head for food, but this hapless guy didn't do anything in this film, he was driven, cucked, and killed inexplicably.
Brad Pitt is almost synonymous with male characters. In this film, he became a trainer who likes to listen to vulgar dynamic twists and idiot fitness dance.
Hashichi Clooney has always been a man in a suit. Even if he played as a playboy, he used to be stylish and stylish. This time he spent awkwardly at home. Look at the lady rocking chair he made by himself.
There are shoes out in front of the CIA chiefs, murder and arson, both furtive, and not at all seriously, the Russian embassy amateur, did not forget to take a suspiciously when the disc: "? PC OR MAC"
So this idiot who constitute the A small-scale thrilling, genre film life melodrama.
