Air review: A surprisingly gripping film for a movie about Michael Jordan wearing Nike

AIR(12) 112mins★★★★☆A MOVIE about Nike trying to get basketball star Michael Jordan to endorse their trainers doesn’t sound that gripping.But, to me, nor does a sport where towering athletes have to throw a ball into a hoop that is generally only three and a half feet above them.Air is a big comeback for its leads and is Ben Affleck’s biggest and best role since Gone GirlAlamyAn original touch is that Michael Jordan himself is a non-character in thisAFPW
