The Company Men (2010)

My Rank : *** (Not Bad :( )

Film ini menceritakan beberapa tokoh yang memiliki latar belakang yang berbeda. Mereka merupakan salah satu pegawai sebuah perusahaan transportasi bernama GTX. Perusahaan ini sedang mengalami penurunan saham, sehingga perusahaan harus memecat banyak pegawai untuk mempertahankan kelangsungan perusahaan.

Bobby Walker seorang kepala marketing yang mengurus suatu daerah tidak menyangka bahwa pagi itu dirinya akan dipecat. Bobby kehilangan arah, sehingga Ia harus menjual satu persatu miliknya yang berharga seperti mobil Porsche dan rumah nya. Diceritakan bahwa Bobby mengalami stress sehingga Ia menjadi tukang bangunan untuk sementara.

Phil Woodward juga merupakan salah satu pegawai yang dipecat dari GTX. Phil sangat malu terhadap tetangganya ketika Ia kehilangan pekerjaannya. Ia tidak melakukan apa-apa dan suka mabuk. Hingga akhirnya Ia bunuh diri karena stress berat.

Lain halnya dengan Gen McCary, Ia merupakan petinggi dalam GTX yang juga dipecat. Tetapi Ia tetap berpikir jernih dalam menghadapi tekanan itu. Ia mengumpulkan orang-orang yang dipecat termasuk Bobby, dan mendirikan perusahaan baru.

Film ini sedikit membosankan, dengan inti film yang sedikit samar. Ending dari film ini pun terkesan datar. Tetapi makna yang bisa didapat dari film ini cukup bagus, sebagai referensi untuk melihat dunia kerja.

Just watch it! :)
