Did It Suck Movie Reviews

Review:     4 Stars     Rated:     R

Up In The Air is a character fueled film with  George Clooney leading the way.  Canadian film director Jason Reitman seems to fly this one home with very little turbulence from critics.  Supporting cast members included: Jason Bateman, Vera Farmiga, and Anna Kendrick.

Ryan Bingham (Clooney) flies the globe as a hired terminator, in a matter of speaking, his job is to fire people in the most decent way possible.  Ryan lives his job in somewhat of a religious fashion and loves his self isolation with nothing to weigh him down.  As the story progresses Ryan starts to come out of his isolated life, relationships and family events are things that he has always avoided until he meets a woman that completely captures him, Alex.  He then finds himself  inviting Alex, (Vera Farmiga),  to his sisters wedding.  In the midst of all this, Ryan’s company is making changes in the way they operate, leaving him grounded and more-so with a chip on his shoulder about the new change.

Clooney plays his roll exceptionally well and at the same time is perfect for the character.  As much as I enjoyed this film, even with all the critics raving about it,  it doesn’t meet up to the Did It Suck standers and quite frankly was a little long winded.  Wait For The DVD, but only if theres nothing else to rent.
