"How much does your life weigh?"

While a great deal of "topical" motion pictures invariably arrive too late, 2009's Up in the Air is a flawlessly timed evocation of this modern age of corporate instability, a shaky global economy, and a general aura of uncertainty and discomfort. Of course, a film is not catapulted to greatness on account of its timeliness alone. Jason Reitman visib... read more

The consensus that UP IN THE AIR is, among other things, a particularly timely film becomes clear during its first few minutes, which depict reactions from several people who have just been fired from their jobs. It takes a while before we find out who it is that's doing the firing, but we soon discover that it's none other than George Clooney, who's sort of developed a reputation as the "cool, ni... read more

Description: Ryan Bingham's job is to fire people from theirs. The anguish, hostility, and despair of his "clients" has left him falsely compassionate, living out of a suitcase, and loving every second of it. When his boss hires arrogant young Natalie, she develops a method of video conferencing that will allow termination without ever l ... (more)

"21.4. Alkuun oikein pirteä sekoitus sikarikkaiden menestystä käsitteleviä tv-sarjoja ja hipster-magneettia onnistuu olemaan hyvinkin hauska. Clooney on Hollywoodin viimeisiä karismaattisia näyttelijöitä, ja Twilight-ämmäkin vetää yllättävän hyvin. Erilaista elämäntyyliä viettävän ihmisen lopussa tuleva elämästä oppiminen valitettavasti vain latistaa hyvin paljon elokuvan tehoa. Sam Elliott amiraalina nauratti hyvinkin paljon."

"Ryan Bingham makes a living out of telling people that they're fired. Natalie Keener is a young upstart who's new ideas threaten to outmode Ryan's role in the profession. But as they both take flight to learn from each other's paradigms of the business, they both begin to learn that each of their lives isn't as grounded as either of 'em might have thought. A smart in-depth story the delves into the various aspects of life such as jobs, life purposes, marriages & family. And why in this curren"

" + Nice, original story about a crisis manager. + Good acting from Clooney and Farmiga. + The twist with Alex was pretty good. - The crying scene at the airport was absolutely terrible. - Nothing special actually. 7.5/10 "
