Up in the Air...

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

...saw this last night.

This film, starring George Clooney, is being touted as an Oscar pick with Clooney possibly nominated as Best Actor.

It's an interesting and sometimes funny film about a guy who spends 320 days a year in the air and on the road, terminating employees for various companies as a hired gun.

The three main characters are very well fleshed out and by the end, you feel as though you really know them. Clooney is excellent in what is asked of him dramatically here.

But the ending leaves you "up in the air" so perhaps it's an apropos title.

I found it well done, enjoyable and interesting, but a little unsatisfying. And I usually prefer films that leave you hanging.

I'd give it a B+.

Clooney is very good at these roles where he plays a sort of charming, superficial prick NT - Jazz Inmate 22:11:59 12/15/09 (4)

Agreed - Oh Brother, Oceans 11, Leatherheads and here - all similar characters...(nt) - mkuller 11:20:18 12/16/09 (3)

yep, makes me think he may not be a very good actor but just a charming, superficial prick in real life NT - Jazz Inmate 15:05:16 12/18/09 (0)

Oh Brother and Oceans 11 in the same breath?????? - jamesgarvin 15:39:57 12/16/09 (1)

Actually, I like the Oh Brother film and soundtrack... - mkuller 20:56:15 12/16/09 (0)
