I watched this – for the second time – this weekend, and I enjoyed as much as the first time.

Directed by Jason Reitman (“Thank You for Smoking,” “Juno”), this is a low-key funny film that’s not a comedy.

Clooney is a road-warrior who travels to fire people (how apropos in our current job market) and is not a “people person.” He meets his female equal – Farmiga – and things get interesting.

Without giving away much, he changes(?) over the course of the flick. But it’s not false – done well.

Very well done. The second time around was better than the first (I got the “loyalty” issue).

NOTE: Reitman actually cast some folks who had been fired to play the fired folks, and encouraged them to ad lib their responses. Interesting.
