Interesting, Creative Film

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2010)

This was a true pleasure. A creative, innovative effort that shined. The acting from all the characters was spectacular. George Clooney stars as Ryan Bingham; A man whose life is spent traveling around the country , mostly in the heart of America firing people. In fact , He is a part of a contracted consultant team that does the dirty deeds. Bingham not necessarily a man of low morals or standards, is none the less immune to his devious chores, much like a QB knowing he is going to take a big hit every down. Mr. Bingham loves the first class travel and perks that go with his position. Enter young ,naive, Natalie Keener , hired to reorganize the Consultant company ,with objections from Bingham. They end up in the air together and both learn some valuable lessons in life . Further muddling the situation is Alex Goran, a female companion during those lonely times traveling for Bingham. This was a film that explored human emotions from every spectrum. There were some fine twists in this film . The film also shed some light on our cold culture of technology . Is it better to be fired in person? Is it better to be fired via webcam or perhaps a text? The word firing could be replaced by the words 'breaking up'. This film went beyond Binghams job and highlighted some personal relationships, involving his family and his meaning in life. Mr. Bingham the word master was a servant to his own emotions.
