Movie Haiku:First film directed by TV master John Wells (ER/CHINA BEACH/THE WEST WING) is a homerun for Jan: an honest attempt to capture the dynamics of the American business world & the personal devastation wrought by the current Great Recession. Altho Rich was moved by the central couple (Affleck/DeWitt), he wasn''''t as convinced as Jan was by the surround.
