Clooney Flies High

Rating: 8/10 (4 October 2012)

It only runs for 105 minutes, but Up In The Air feels even shorter. This is a fine piece of entertainment .. with more messages here than in 20 mobile phones. George Clooney is great in his rather "Oliver Cromwell" type role of--sacking people.(giving people the chop!!) He flies all over America doing the dirty work for corporations that are too queasy for that kind of thing. He virtually lives in the air. He likes his work, and he is also a motivational speaker. The movie revolves around him,,,his romances,,,his family (he is un-married),,,his relationships Etc. There are good one liners here..and much more fun and intelligence than in most movies of to-day. The supporting cast (particularly the sexy Vera Farmiga) are all great.
