The Company Men

A relevant movie about the times we live in about three men at different points of their lives and how they deal with going from affluent businessmen to struggling members of the unemployment percentage. The men are played by Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones and Chris Cooper – all three turn in stout performances. Kevin Costner even makes an appearance to show he still has skills. Two things that are missing from this film – women and minorities – they are in the cast, it’s not a Shakespearean play, but their roles are small and inconsequential against these masters of industry. Despite the oversight, the three principle actors keep you watching. Worth a rent.
