Peter Travers reviews "Air," starring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Jason Bateman.
Ben Affleck's "Air" is a movie that trades on the idea that there was a time, believe it or not, when Nike wasn't the totally dominant, world-crushing corporate behemoth we all know today. Once, it was a scrappy, can-do sort of underdog, fighting the good fight for a piece of the market share against the giants of the industry, Converse and Adidas.
From Super Mario Bros. The Movie, to Sharon Horgan's new show and a Cork author's debut novel
AIR has the answer. It is a ripper of a movie. It is fun, engaging, edge-of-your-seat fare.
The new movie " Air " is technically about a shoe. No one coos about how comfortable it is. No one waxes poetic about its performance enhancing abilities. No one even tries it on. That's because "Air," directed by Ben Affleck, is not really about the shoe at all, but the men of Nike who brought the company into the basketball sneaker game in 1984.
