Daniel G I'd watched this movie closer to 2010, when it was released, but watching it again in 2023 it still felt impactful, although maybe nowadays there would be more of these "company men" looking to open their own business or invest in a franchise - like a very good friend of mine, a company man all his life, unemployed close to age 60, ended up doing after not finding a job. The movie rang quite true and was very watchable and entertaining, which is expected from the leading actors, though looking back on it, it actually was superficial in many of its portrayals.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Richard F If you have ever lost a job then you will find thingx to relate to in this movie. All of the characters exhibit the reactions, feelings, and behaviors related to being laid off/fired. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Eye C A good drama about the evil capitalist corporation and how it destroys the poor labor workers. A little biased to the left, but it doesn’t tells lies either. Great cast, always good to watch Kevin Costner to perform. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Thomas S Depressing at times but we'll-acted by a stellar cast Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review David W The Company Men features a monumentally talented cast playing a set of characters with starkly different personalities and motivations. This allows the film to explore different perspectives of the storyline. The tone is decidedly somber and sinister, which works well for the subject. An attempt to provide an uplifting, hopeful ending feels like a studio executive insisted on a happy ending to increase marketability. The result is an ending that is a jarring departure from the rest of the film both in tone and quality. Ignoring that piece, which ironically may speak to the issues the story is addressing, the overall film is as enjoyable as it is meaningful. I agree with other viewers that the focus on upper class white men may not be relatable to all audiences. But as one of the millions of Americans personally touched by the events the film portrays in the decade since its release. I found the focus on otherwise unrelatable characters makes the film watchable. Had it instead focused on average workers, it would have still been excellent, but personally harder to watch by hitting too close to home. I would definitely watch this one again.
