Clooney takes us on a first class ride
Jason Reitman (‘Juno’) directs this darkly humorous insight into corporate America. George Clooney plays “career transition consultant” Ryan Bingham, whose job it is to make people feel good about being fired. When his own job faces downsizing, he is forced to go on the defensive. However, a new romance with a fellow executive (Vera Farmiga, ‘The Departed’) suggests that Ryan may indeed be ready for change.
