This has the makings of a cheesy and well-trodden-sentimental-David vs. Goliath-TV Movie but when Director Gus Van Sant buddies up with Matt Damon for the first time since Good Will Hunting, letting Damon and co-star John Krasinski craft a snappy and witty script, combine that with a weighty cast, they come up with a different perspective making this an enjoyable 1hr 55 mins.

The well-used story-line is turned on it�s side, Damon and McDormand are the corporate bullies but also the main characters. We get enough of a glimpse into their lives to understand that they have their own reasons to believe they are doing the right thing, whether their motivation is the memory of their own farming background or having a teenage son to put through college. They are comfortably believable work colleagues and this is nicely set up in less than a handful of scenes.
