John Cusak and Billy Bob Thornton deliver a good performance with this story of two air traffic controllers facing life from very different angles. The lesson is great- one should love life for what it is and be wary that complaisance might take all the excitement away and everything else in the process. The delivery is O.K., but the action takes mostly place at their "scopes" where they track down their planes. Cate Blanchette and Angelina Jolie are, as too many women still do these days, given the sad roles of "bimbos" or women just in the movies to have the men commit sins. Any debutante could have done that and that is too bad.
