Review: 'Air' is a smartly acted and compelling origin story, but it has a Michael Jordan-sized void at the center.
The guys have left all that mud and difficulty behind for their latest outing together,, in which they both act, with Affleck directing. In this film, the first from Damon and Affleck’s Artists Equity production house, nothing is more important than a sneaker. The mission is to entertain, and maybe dimly inspire., a marketing guy at Nike whose specialty was scouting up-and-coming basketball players for potential endorsement deals.
is about Vaccaro’s efforts to sign a young Jordan to Nike, creating the bestselling Air Jordan sneaker in the process. But Jordan is not really in the movie—we glimpse the back of an actor’s head and that’s pretty much it.Viola Davis, inching their way toward a deal that would change their lives—and, perhaps, the life of the nation.
I’m joking about that last part, though I’m not sure the movie is. A curious weight hangs over these proceedings, an insistence that we are watching something significant when, again, this is all just about a sneaker and the making of lots of money. Affleck, in his competent and earnest direction, tries to whip up something meaningful from this story of contracts, and Damon works hard to sell it.
