Ryan Bingham has been specializing in firing people all over the USA for life. A fired professional is a person who finishes work smoothly by minimizing various incidents and risks that can occur at the time of dismissal. Bingham travels throughout the United States, visiting several companies that have hired him, and delivering dismissive news of dismissal to their employees on their behalf. And by accumulating 10 million miles of accumulated mileage every time, the only goal in life is to get the seventh platinum card in the world. Even if your sister is obsessed with this strange obsession, Bingham firmly believes that mileage is part of her identity. And I rather have a disgusting face in response to my sister's advice to come to her sister's wedding. Bingham, who thinks that it is easier to settle freely than to live in a solid connection with people, is naturally pursuing a light meeting rather than a proper love.

In front of Bingham, two women appear to change their lives one day. One is a young layoff expert Natalie, and the other is Alex, a woman who resembles herself.

But Bingham, who believes that at least layoffs should see his face, goes on a business trip to accompany Natalie and transfer firing know-how. On the other hand, Alex, who met on a chance basis, is a woman who is enthusiastic about the airline mileage card and is free enough to be called 'woman Bingham'.

Points of interest:

Walter Kern is based on the original novel of the same name, so a solid plot and three-dimensional character set are attractive. And this was expressed by George Clooney as an actor dressed in body. The genre is a comedy, but the life of a 'lone fired professional' can not really be comical. The film satirizes the reality of modern capitalism with a somewhat unusual job of 'laying professional', and has abundantly expressed the character of Bingham, a unique person who is obsessed with mileage. The performances ensemble of the supporting actors such as Vera Famiga, Jason Beatman, and Anna Kendrick are also excellent. Firing interviews appearing during the middle of the film are the ones who are actually laid off to say their reason for dismissal, and realism through it doubles black comedic elements. It is a combination of a solid story, stunning acting, and black comedic elements from extraordinary characters and realism.
