15 Most Underrated Spy Movies Of All Time

Another brutally dark (and darkly hilarious) anti-spy film, 2008's Burn After Reading has the distinction of being the most cynical and mean-spirited film from Miller's Crossing helmers the Coen Brothers.

Yes, that's a year after they directed the "so dark no light can escape it" Cormac McCarthy adaptation No Country for Old Men.

Where that flick at least gave its cast of characters some dignity amidst its wanton bloodshed, Burn After Reading follows the shaggy dog story of some paranoid former spies, inept bureaucrats, and idiotic civilians who gets themselves tangled up in a convoluted and eventually utterly pointless plot.

Featuring some of the funniest bursts of bleak violence the pair are infamous for, this is one spy movie which would put you off the idea of espionage unless you want to end up brutally finished like most of the flick's cast of no-hopers.
