More like, down to Earth. 3/5 Stars
George Clooney - Pretty much the same, but good
I just really enjoyed this film for reasons I might not be able to express clearly. I loved its use of camera work and silence. Some of the scenes draw you in with no music whatsoever. That tool has proven pretty powerful (No Country For Old Men). I liked the smart dialogue and wit. This film had the potential to be very slow and boring, but proved to only be a little slow and more interesting.
Some scenes take you to face reality and others take you to an unrealistic scenario. All in all they did a good job with a film about a dude that fires people for a living. They bring you up and down again. The life of a traveler might seem appealing at first, but proven to be very lonely and monotonous without a partner. There were some great dialogues about life and relationships. Obviously Christ is the ultimate fulfiller, but they got some stuff pretty close.
Acting: Good enough
Writing: Human and intellectual
Cinematography: Perfect fit for the mood of the film, great!
Story Line: Depressing, yet humbling
I almost gave this film 4 stars, but took it back simply because it just didn't feel right in that category with all the other 4's. It wasn't just lacking one thing, there were a few things I enjoy to see more in films. More motion is one of them.
Sure, see it. Some sexual scenes and conversations.
