2006 / Jason Reitman > Even though his father hasn’t done anything respectable in a decade, Jason Reitman certainly has—on his first try, no less. Reitman’s sobering yet insanely objective view of a tobacco lobbyist (played superbly by Aaron Eckhart) is a much needed breath of fresh air from Hollywood. Recently, there’s been a barrage of weak, simply blasphemous liberal propaganda films that preach in a contrived, heavy-handed way (and while some of you may not include Crash in this, I certainly do). Thank You For Smoking takes a step back and billows out a smokescreen through which we identify with the human side of the tobacco industry while being repulsed at the same time.
