Up In The Air: DVD Review
Up In The Air
Released by Universal Home Entertainment
Rating: M
George Clooney stars as Ryan Bingham, a corporate gun for hire who
is called in when the bosses are too cowardly to cut loose their
staff.
Bingham spends 100% of his life in the air and on the way to one
sacking after another - and he's happy with it his non-committal
lifestyle, living out of a suitcase and out of emotional harm's
way.
So when his boss (Jason Bateman) brings in Natalie Keener
(Twilight's Anna Kendrick), he's appalled to discover her solution
is to ground the staff who do the sacking and get them to do it via
webcams.
However, Ryan becomes determined to show her a little something
about life and takes her across America so she can see how it's
done - and how he does it differently.
Up In The Air wears its heart on its sleeve - if you're fairly film
savvy, you may see some of the twists coming; however, even if
you're a film cynic, there is still plenty to enjoy with the snappy
dialogue and smart humour.
Extras: Deleted scenes, commentary and a few
others make up this package
Rating: 7/10
