Gifted with a charming smile and good looks, George Clooney has always been a very charismatic movie star. He probably will never be known to have great depth or range but over the years, he has turned into a fairly solid actor who plays a certain persona (himself?) extremely well. Here, in Up the Air, you will see nothing new from him but he infuses his character with so much persona that his performance looks effortless and completely genuine.
