where others are underutilized - but the overall experience leaves the
viewer unsympathetic to all. This film is about a global corporation
with some cocky high paid employees that are suddenly fired (in all
about 5000 + are let go) and who live in denial during thier severance
period until it is "too late". Ultimately two characters are redeemed
but we are still unsympathetic. The one performance that really stands
out is from the always excellent Chris Cooper. He has a strong
performance but is underutlized. His character commits suicide towards
the last act and acts as a catalyst for Ben Aflecks and Tommy Lee
Jones' characters to realize they need to change their thinking.
Overall this film is "okay" and watchable but youtoo will find little
in common with all their elitist entitlement issues. I give it two
stars out of four And recommend adding it to you netflix when and if
it becomes available.
