not sure what the point was

Rating: 4/10 (29 September 2010)

Very little happens in this movie. It's about Ryan, played by George Clooney, whose job is to fire people. He flies around the US firing people. He meets up with this pretty woman, Alex, whom also flies a lot for her job. So they start meeting up and texting and start a little romance. Meanwhile, Ryan's company hires a young gun, Natalie, whom suggests to save money by firing people over the computer. The boss tells her to go with Ryan to see what's it like to fire people. Along the way her relationship breaks up and she sees it is not as easy as she thought. Ryan invites Alex to a wedding, and comes to think he wants what Natalie's been talking about with marriage and someone to come home to. So he goes to see Alex in Chicago and sees what he should have suspected along. And the ending is just Ryan along and flying again because his company shelved the computer idea.
And how they made a movie out of that I don't know because it's hardly a plot.
FINAL VERDICT: Boring, avoid.
