Air - Reviews

If it’s successful, Air might just prove to be the first in a wave of films about shoes.

... a slick, well-acted look at Nike's pursuit of Michael Jordan.

...a slam dunk and ultimately one of the best sports movies ever made.

...a fine watch that one will enjoy until the very end. It leaves us with a valuable journey and a set of doctrines that can change one’s life.

Ben Affleck’s poignant portrait of Nike aging into Its Michael Jordan era.

...an engaging Hollywood fairytale, about extraordinary people and the scope of their ambition, and the importance of advocating not only for your own worth, but for the worth of those around you.

...sports movies that concentrate on the actual playing of the game are pointing the camera the wrong way. The back office is where the real action is.

...a movie that’s not afraid to be saccharine and heartfelt about friendship and family values, and isn’t overly trite with regards to topics that are usually cliched, such as the art of taking a chance and trusting your gut.

So how do you tell a story to which we already know the outcome? That’s where the deceptive brilliance of Ben Affleck’s directing lies.
