I usually wouldn't find time to worry about those pesky 1% but Company Men reminds me of why "downsizing" is the worst word in the American language. Really good performances all around and still resonates even three years after it came out - it will make you thankful for what you have, that's for sure.

It's always hard to see somebody lose their job but what makes it harder is when they have to give up their mansions & fancy cars.The Company Men was an OK movie & I guess it was suppose to show that this type of situation could happen to anybody but I really couldn't get behind it.I would have rather watched a movie where the people are more down to earth & have regular homes/apartments & jobs & drive normal cars but I guess that don't fly in Hollywood because in 99% of Hollywood movies, People drive the fanciest cars, Own the biggest or nicest homes & live the perfect lives

A timely film about well-off employees dealing with the sudden impact of downsizing, firings, and an inability to let go of a lifestyle filled with wealth and success. The film is well cast, particularly Affleck in the lead role. I can't say it's a happy viewing, it certainly isn't fun watching people fall down on their luck and then refuse to leave behind their extravagant lifestyles, so I'd say it's worth watching for the performances. Whoever was in charge of sound, however, should never work in film again, because there are times you can't even hear what people are saying.
