The film “Up in the Air” is — ostensibly — all about George Clooney. Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) travels across the country 300+ days of the year and fires people for a living… Because bosses get scared and emotional ex-employees tend toward regrettable actions.

But “Natalie Keener” (Anna Kendrick) truly steals the show.
Natalie is the young hotshot character. She’s convinced Ryan’s boss to replace the guys’ jet-setting ways with New Technology: firing people over the computer screen. She’s going to make Ryan irrelevant, and the firees along with him.
