Ben Affleck and Matt Damon team up for their ninth movie together in the sports/business film “Air.” The nearly two-hour movie tells the true story of the events surrounding the development of Michael Jordon’s Air Jordan basketball shoe in the 1980’s. It was the largest endorsement deal with a sports star up to that time.
Director Ben Affleck (“Gone Baby Gone” 2007) and screenwriter Alex Convery have put together a film that has good production values, but is a bit on the dull side. The subject matter of shoe sales does not necessarily translate into engrossing movie fare. It was filmed at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California.
The supporting cast includes Jason Bateman, Marlon Wayans, Chris Messina, Chris Tucker, Viola Davis, Jay Mohr, and Damian Young as Michael Jordan. The ho-hum “Air” only broke even at the box office for producers Affleck and Damon, Skydance Sports, Artists Equity, Mandalay Pictures, Amazon Studios, and Warner Bros. Pictures.
