![]() He walks around the office barefoot, yet he drives a Porsche he insists is not purple but rather grape in hue. Affleck is Nike co-founder and former CEO Phil Knight, an intriguing mix of Zen calm and corporate arrogance. It’s a blast watching these longtime best friends, co-stars, and co-writers playing off each other again, provoking and cajoling, more than a quarter century after “ Good Will Hunting.” Damon stars as Sonny Vaccaro, the Nike recruiting expert who recognized the young North Carolina guard as a once-in-a-generation talent and pursued him relentlessly to keep him from Converse and Adidas cooler brands. The interactions within those mundane spaces make “Air” such a joy, starting with the reteaming of Affleck and Matt Damon. If you love movies about process, about people who are good at their jobs, then you’ll find yourself enthralled by the film’s many moments inside offices, conference rooms, and production labs. ![]() This probably makes “Air” sound like a two-hour sneaker commercial. Working from a sharp and snappy script by Alex Convery, Affleck tells the story of how Nike nabbed Jordan by creating a shoe that wasn’t just for him but of him-the representation of his soon-to-be iconic persona in a form that made us feel as if we, too, could reach such heights. With “Air,” it all comes together in an enormously entertaining package-one that’s old-fashioned but also alive and crowd-pleasing. His choice in cinematographer, longtime Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino collaborator Robert Richardson, is a prime example. ![]() Affleck emphasizes strong writing, veteran performers and venerable behind-the-scenes craftspeople. His fifth feature is much in the same vein as the previous movies he’s helmed: “ Gone Baby Gone,” “ The Town,” “ Argo” (which earned him a best-picture Oscar) and “Live By Night.” He makes the kind of solid, mid-budget movies for grown-ups that are far too rare these days. So how do you tell a story to which we already know the outcome? That’s where the deceptive brilliance of Ben Affleck’s directing lies. And the Air Jordan, the shoe that gives the film its title, became the best-known and most-coveted sneaker of all time. Of course, we know from the start that the former Nike executive succeeded: Michael Jordan became a superstar and arguably the greatest basketball player in the history of the game.
