Review of The Company Men (2010) by Joey M — 22 Jun 2011

Although the actors are convincing and the film well-crafted, "The Company Men" delivers few satisfactory character portraits because the movie isn't really about characters, it's about economics.

Still, it'll make you think about the imbalance in the business world, even if the arguments and consequences are nothing all that revolutionary. Unfortunately, writer-director John Wells, best-known for his work on TV's "E.

R." and "The West Wing," doesn't have a ladder remotely tall enough to get us out of the pit his film starts in. Skip it!
