A very good George Clooney film.

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2010)

This film has been touted by many as truly being Oscar worthy in many categories. While I found it very well done in all facets - directing, acting, writing, etc.; I feel the topic may be a bit too depressing to garner the wide spread voting bloc needed for true Oscar contention.
Regardless of the pervasive negativity of the topic, it really is a well done film that softly delves into the mores of an individual whose sole purpose in life is that of a traveling terminator for rent who is generally devoid of the need for meaningful human interaction.
The intrepid road warrior - racking up the miles - but; to what end? A nice character study, acted with great skill by Clooney. Among his best efforts.
Ah, but for the topic... A worthy acting effort.
