There was literally no point to this movie, and the main characters even acknowledged this. This movie is about two "cleaners," those who clean up sticky, illegal messes for influential individuals. The premise of this film was that these two guys were called in to remove a dead body, and return a significant stash of illegal narcotics found w/ the body. They quickly realize that there is no body, as the supposed victim is still alive, but nonetheless, they set out to return the drugs for some seemingly unknown reason. As the story progresses, they come to find out that the drugs have been stolen, so their impetus changes to from whom. This is the problem, as a "cleaner" wouldn't care, and in the very last scene of the movie, Brad Pitt says to George Clooney, 'So, now you don't care about who stole the drugs?' and Clooney shakes his head to indicate "no." The drugs were supposed to be a MaGuffin that drove this film, except w/out the drugs, there was no film. And, now, w/out any reasoning behind the film's drive, it all ends up pointless and unnecessary.
