Ryan Bingham flies around the country and fires people for a living. He’s constantly, er, up in the air, which is convenient for him as it means he doesn’t have to sustain any real relationships. His home is the airplane seat he finds himself on, and his family are the strangers he meets. So what happens when his company decides that they can fire people more efficiently via the internet? Well, his life loses its meaning and he’s forced to evaluate.
Up in the Air is actually better than it sounds. Much better, and in no small part because of George Clooney, who just keeps getting better with age – in both the talent and aesthetics department. The flick is also written and directed by the same guy who brought us Juno, so you know it’s going to be winner. Look out for this one at the Oscars.
Rating: 5 outta 5.
