DAVID’S REVIEW: Air was by far my favorite film of 2023. The casting, acting, directing and flow of the movie were flawless. Its greatest strength was the acting. Matt Damon, Jason Bateman and Chris Tucker were all fantastic in their roles. Although I have to admit, Ben Affleck as Phil Knight didn’t feel right. But hey, when you produce and direct a great film, you’re allowed to give yourself any role. Affleck’s performance wasn’t too distracting, but a better suited actor to play Knight would have been a better choice.
The story was so well presented by Affleck that I found my eyes being glued to the screen through every scene.
There was nothing I didn’t like about Air.
It will go down as one of the best sports movies in cinematic history and almost up there with Moneyball.
