Review of Air, the new Ben Affleck movie that stars Matt Damon as the man who tried to sign Michael Jordan to Nike.
Air is a fun boardroom caper about one of the greatest deals in sporting history. But it’s strange watching a movie about sport, in which there’s barely a glimpse at the athlete around which the story revolves. Which adds tension and suspense to proceedings as the big meet approaches. But Convery’s script is cleverly structured, so that via an emotionally charged conversation at the end of the movie, Air reveals what it was really about all along. Even though the guys are in their Nike offices and could probably afford to turn the lights on. Viola Davis plays Michael’s mother Deloris Jordan, and she becomes key, not only to Sonny securing the signature of her son, but also to the film working. The potential arrival of Jordan means the demand is now there, and the way in which he rises to the occasion is both hilarious and inspiring. And it only gets tougher from there, as the next blocker is Michael’s mom. Sports agent David Falk – played with foul-mouthed intensity by Chris Messina – is the first defensive guard standing in Vaccaro’s way. Michael Jordan is the immovable object – a basketball prodigy who has just signed for the Chicago Bulls, and only wants to wear Adidas sneakers when he plays. Followed by him heading home via a stopover in Las Vegas where we see another side of the character, winning big by betting on basketball, then losing even bigger on dice. Ben Affleck’s new movie – which he both directs and stars in – puts these two men on a collision course with incredibly high stakes.
