***1/2 – George Clooney puts in a solid performance as his usual charming self in this well shot film about a guy who flies around the country firing people for a living. The rest of the cast also do a nice job, although I must admit that I found the young girl character – although well played by the actress – to be extremely unlikeable. There were some pretty funny parts, but I wasn’t really able to connect with the drama aspect of the film. Personally, I found Clooney’s “backpack” philosophy pretty intriguing (although the actual backpack metaphor was kind of dumb), and felt that his backtracking toward the end was pretty silly.
