Not the best movie I have ever seen but certainly not the worst either. Wanted to watch it for a long time and just kept missing it. Was on the Independent Film Channel so maintained all the language, which I felt was necessary to the story. Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Affleck and Chris Cooper were all great as the executives in a BIG firm. High paid people living the good life, like many people I know, before the economic downturn, experienced all over the world. Don't want to ruin it, but many people lose their jobs and this shows how it effects all of them, extended family too. I think the writing was very good, and I watch TONS of movies, and it was well acted as well. There are some haters, as usual, reviewing it, but they sound like just angry haters, such as michaellimb, and vsannu3553, probably mad at the world for whatever reasons. I think it was a good look at events in a big city and how we should all live within our means and save as much as possible, don't get "too big for your britches" as the saying goes. Not all turns out rosy as one reviewer has said,makes me think he did't watch it all or is just a hater, but again, don't want to ruin it for anyone. Well worth watching and liked Kevin Costner's downplaying his part in the movie. Yes people have bigger problems but that is not what this film is about. Also enjoyed Craig T Nelson, Maria Bello and Eamonn Walker (from Chicago Fire) as well as the girl playing Ben Affleck's wife.
