AIR is the story of how Nike wooed Michael Jordan and changed the sneaker market forever.
Good behind the scenes story is hurt by Matt Damon being in his typical Matt Damon mode. If you've seen a lot of Damon films, you know where he often is simply his charming self with no coloring what so ever. That's his character here, Matt Damon the charmer. Sure the scripts make it clear that Damon is not the same person he is in other films, but the truth of the matter is he just cut and pasted his performance from an earlier film. While he's never bad, he's always Damon.
Its a shame since the film has some really great performances from the rest of the cast, who disappear into their roles. Chris Tucker for example had me doing triple takes.
While the film is never bad, you really have to wonder why this film cost so much to make and why some critics are falling all over themselves about it.
It's worth a look but I'm glad I watched it on Prime.
