Up In the Air

Another one of George Clooney's jet setting executive guy movie with slapstick comedy. Well the concept is really interesting and is about a jet setting executive who earns his living by firing people out of their jobs. There is no much story to the movie - it just depicts how fucked up the lives of such jet setters are. People derive strength and courage to walk the tight rope from their families but these jet setters have no family no relations to turn to they jus live out of a box - everything they possess can be packed in a suitcase and the airport terminals is their home and they derive a satisfaction, pleasure and pride from the amount of jet miles that they earn during the travel.

This movie might strike a chord with the American audience but nothing much for people from other parts of the world who aren't much affected due to the 2008 economic slowdown.

The movie is a must watch for the dialogue deliveries and physchological analysis and negotiation that the firing agent does leading to the affecting party believe that this firing is a God Send Favour which he/she needs to grab.

The movie has received6 golden globe nominations too which is another reason to reckon watching the movie.
