"The Company Men" is an outstanding drama that showcases many of this generation's greatest American acting talent, all of whom are Academy Award winners. Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck, "The Town") is living the American dream: he has a great job, a big house, a beautiful family and a shiny Porsche in the garage. But when the effects of the Global Financial Crisis leave him a victim of corporate downsizing, Bobby finds himself not waving but drowning on the outer at the golf club, baited by his builder brother-in-law (Kevin Costner, "Dances with Wolves") and well behind on all his repayments. Soon Bobby is joined by former colleagues Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper, "American Beauty") and Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones, "In the Valley of Elah") and each man reacts to his new situation in different ways. All three are forced to re-define their lives as men, husbands, and fathers. With humor, pathos, and keen observation, writer-director John Wells ("ER", "The West Wing") compassionately explores the personal struggle of men facing the trauma and humiliation of employment redundancy.
