Everybody he was supposed to keep an eye on thought they were far more important then they actually were, and he didn't know what to make of it.

When Rasches character sits down part way through, the camera angle changes on Simmons as both characters are now facing each other on the same level (watch from about 00:40 ).

I first saw only this clip, now after seeing the whole movi and watching this clip again it al just makes sense

"so the gym manager is dead" "yes sir" "and the body?" "it's gone" "that quite my tempo"

J.K Simmons always has a great blend of drama and comedy in his performances

Love this movie. These two guys had the best scenes, and also introduced me to the term ‘clusterfuck’….. 😆

What an absolute masterpiece of screen writing and actor interpretation... I could watch these two all day hahaha

This film is honestly super clever. This film just does a great job of finding the humor out of the ridiculousness of the film. This is honestly becoming more brilliant the more I think about it.

One of the key movies of our era, as everything that has happened since its release makes abundantly clear.

I love how they seem to see this every day to the point of being annoyed so many people are involved having to clean it up

Nearly forgot about this movie, lmao. this scene is amazing and so many others

Honestly always thought this movie was just okay, but the last 3 minutes is just top tier writing and filmmaking man

One of the greatest scenes ever shot, mother of god. It's a masterpiece.

The way Sledgehammer’s face twitches every time he has to give more info is just gold

My favourite scene in the whole movie. The absurdity of it all summed up so well. These played it out so well.

A cinematic masterpiece full of excellent acting, a great script and the best dialogue. "More material?" in broken Russian - ROTFL The mannerisms, the dynamics of the dialogue, the facial expressions of both of these guys in these 3 minutes is just great. "he shot the analyst. He shot Cox" - "Good." - then the look on the underling's face!!!

The "brain function" line delivery was excellent

Like their films or not. The Coen brothers have a great style/feel to their films. At least I think so - those that I have seen. ☮

the forlorn "Oh.." he delivers at 0:30 is probably my favorite line of the film. you can see the gears turning, analyzing how much of a diplomatic fuck-up it would look like.

These CIA headquarter scenes are the best in the whole movie :D

I feel like "I don't fucking know(what we learned)...I guess we learned not to do it again" sums up EVERY single Coen Bros movie ever made.

This script is, as per usual with the Coens, pure platinum and it’s silliness played to perfection by the stellar cast

I can't remember when I laughed so hard in the cinema, I couldn't even read the credits through the tears in my eyes. Absolutely underrated movie!

From 2:33 onward is basically how I sum up everything past January 2020 to now

Is that meant to be funny? I don't see how that has a shred of humor in it

2:37 - The funniest line in the film!

Outstanding scene, JK Simmons was superb in this as he always is

1:40 "So that's it then. No one else really knows anything."😂
