New found respect for Clooney

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2010)

I think that this may well be Clooneys best performance to date. I didn't know a lot about the film before i went to see it, only what the adverts were giving. The story itself is very powerful and direct. It will pull audiences in and not let go. Clooney was given the perfect role and in return he delivered the perfect performance. The supporting cast all gave solid performances and their were some fantastic cameos from some very well known actors, one in particular from the man that made the Hangover so enjoyable! The story was so relevant and I think it will succeed due to its brutal honesty. Given the current global recession the writers saw an opportunity to really get inside the viewers heads. This film will have an effect on many people as it did to me. George Clooney was at his best and gave an amazing performance and in doing so allowed us to approach a topic that many people find to uncomfortable to talk about. A powerful piece of cinema.
