From Jim Brunzell III – Grade B – Review excerpt: A film with Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, and Kevin Costner doesn't really scream independent or Sundance; it's flawed but is also well-acted, engaging, and shows how the recession is blowing up in everyone's face without any promise of letting up anytime soon. The Company Men should have no problem finding a home in theaters and on DVD. See the review at the following link:
