Clooney at his absolute best.

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2010)

There are movies that deserve 10s and this one is on that list. Unique, funny and sad all wrapped up in a nice little travel package. A commentary on people and life seems to be what great movies possess and Up In The Air has those things. Though almost on the verge of a formula movie in the end, it manages to fly away from this glimmer of mediocrity to a deep sadness for the main character who accepts his decisions with wisps of kindness. From not quite as cocky of a person when the movie begins, to someone realizing their wrong assumptions and having to now live by those as time has passed him by. Clooney has forged himself into one of the great actors of the day with this movie and shows himself to possess an extraordinary amount of talent. He emits a charisma of proportion not found in any other actor today but manages it with a decorum. Except for some brief but graphic rear end shots(Though very shapely.) and language, the film might be OK for 16 or over.
