"Pushing Tin" tells the story of a charismatic aircraft controller, who seems to have it all: Success, a beautiful wife and the respect of his friends. When a new controller enters the scene, all of this seems in doubt due to his aura and extraordinary talent, that soon finds the two of them fighting for the lead position in this game.
I really have to say that this movie kept me entertained throughout all of its playtime. You really want to know what is about to happen and the producers very sensitively built up the conflict, in order to get the audience emotionally involved and keep the actions more or less plausible. Unfortunately, especially the beginning and the end of the film are very stereotypical Hollywood settings, with very one-dimensional winner-characters and a not so surprising happy end. In my eyes, there would have been potential for an even better film without this will to follow old paths.
All in all this is a beautiful little film, perfect for a date night or if you want to get your head free. It takes its plot serious without touching big topics or leaving you depressed.
