George Clooney puts in another award worthy performance in Alexander Payne’s latest drama that follows a father dealing with his comatose wife, stressed out daughters and a life-changing business deal.

Yes.
Brad Bird expertly directs this worthy addition to the series that admittedly lacks the gravitas of one or three, but makes up for it with some truly nail-biting action sequences.

Yes.
