Product Description:
Attorney Michael Clayton is a ?fixer? the go-to guy when his powerful New York law firm wants a mess swept under the rug. But now he?s handed a crisis even he may not be able to fix. The firm?s top litigator in a $3-billion case has gone from advocate to whistleblower. And the more Michael tries to undo the damage the more he?s up against forces that put corporate survival over human life ? including Michael?s. George Clooney portrays Michael backed into a career corner that offers little room to fight free in this suspense- and star-packed thriller written and directed by Tony Gilroy (writer/co-writer of the Bourne movie trilogy). Keep your eyes on Michael Clayton. He has some life-or- death decisions to make. Fast.Running Time: 119 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA UPC: 085391142560 Manufacturer No: 114256

George Clooney's performance drives this tense corporate thriller from Bourne trilogy screenwriter James Gilroy, who makes his directorial debut here. Clooney is the eponymous "hero," a burnt-out lawyer who cleans up legal messes created by the clients of a large law firm. When a crisis materializes in the form of the firm's top shark (Tom Wilkinson) suffering an apparent meltdown while defending a shady chemical company from lawsuits, Clayton discovers not only a cover-up to deny payments to farmers injured by the company's products, but a chance to find some purpose in the face of his life's downward. Clooney (who also co-produced the film) brings soul and quiet determination to his beleaguered character, and there's excellent support from Wilkinson, Sydney Pollack (also a co-producer), and Michael O'Keefe; Gilroy's script also does a solid job of stacking the deck against Clayton as he attempts to ferret out the truth behind the cover-up. Unfortunately, the film settles for a pat conclusion that, while emotionally satisfying, feels forced and delivers an overly simplistic message (corporations can be bad; morally questionable work can make one feel dirty). And Tilda Swinton is wasted in a thankless role as the chemical company's nerve-wracked and unsympathetic legal counsel. Still, Clooney fans will appreciate this fine addition to his growing roster of flawed heroes. -- Paul Gaita

Such great acting in this suspense drama by all parties. Could have used a little more interaction between the three brothers to clarify, perhaps. This is the finest acting I have seen from George Clooney. Very good, indeed. All 'round.

I'll admit that it's tough for me to give anything five stars, because it's the near-equivalent of saying something is perfect. Well, "Michael Clayton" is a thoroughly enjoyable piece of cinema. The movie is well-cast, particulary with regard to Clooney, Wilkinson, Swinton and Pollack. It's even nice to see Danny Noonan from "Caddyshack" back in action.
If you're looking for some sort of high-action shoot-'em-up full of pursuits, stunts and explosions, please look elsewhere.

I didn't have much enthusiasm for "Michael Clayton". I thought the legal arena on film had been definitely tackled by Sidney Lumet's "The Verdict" some 25 years ago. Boy, was I wrong! Without entering a courtroom except for a filmed deposition this film casts a jaundiced eye on the legal profession that knocks you for a loop. The film centers on a prestigious law firm as it prepares the defense of a multi-national in a class action lawsuit. Michael Clayton(George Clooney) is the firms fixer, ... Read More

Never pre-judge. I thoroughly enjoyed Michael Clayton and would highly recommend it. I almost didn't buy it because a friend had seen it and didn't care for it or "get it". I thought it was very well done, enthralling, and had that element I love, a twist at the end.
