The Company Men (2010)

☻ ☻ The Company Men (2010). Finally, top management with a heart. An interesting twist on the standard one-way corporate  loyalty requirement and its inevitable result.

Worth watching just for Tommy Lee Jones (Gene McClary), who's not the man you'd expect. A man who generally makes himself clear, He's no match for the high-stakes corporate baddies. With Chris Cooper (Phil Woodward) as a guy with an expensive family. 

Ben Affleck and Kevin Costner are in predictable roles, Affleck as Bobby Walker, the man who's told to walk, and Costner as Jack Dolan, his unexpected saviour.

Here's Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper), who's not a happy camper:


Who has it worse, the laid off or those who remain?
