Viewing Notes

This is a film I really enjoyed and also identified with as it reminded me of an ex-colleague road warrior. Clooney is excellent but the turn he takes is predictable and thus knocks the film from making my top 10 for 2009. In general a terrific examination of the social condition and how people fall in and out of that circle.
