This movie is fantastic in that it is only at the last portion do you see how a smart lawyer works and entraps a worthy opponent.

When did Danny Ocean get sooo boring. A friend warned me against this movie saying: "every time George Clooney plays in a comedy it's great, but whenever he plays a serious role, the movie is awful." While this movie wasn't awful it was very slow moving and uneventful. It plays out like a John Grisham novel that just doesn't make the cut, maybe one that he wrote after a lot of pizza and mexican beer. Didn't hate it, but I'm not going to recommend it.

Great movie - I would recommend it. Very good acting. The storyline makes you believe that this isn't just a fictional story, that it happens quite a bit!

I haven't seen too many American films in the past 20 years that I have actually really enjoyed. What most people view as future classics (i.e. "Titanic", "American Beauty", "Little Children", etc...) just didn't do it for me personally. So when my wife rented this one the other night, I again had my doubts after being let down so many times as of late. To my pleasant surprise, "Michael Clayton" was a fabolous flick!
George Clooney is Michael Clayton, a high-end New York attorney whose main job in the firm is to clean-up or fix messy situations. While he's been very successful in his career as the firm's "janitor", his personal life is in complete disarray (yes, the irony is a bit too overt, but this is Hollywood after all). When one of the firm's senior partners, Arthur Edens (played to the hilt by Tom Wilkinson) suffers a nervous breakdown after six years defending a corrupt billion-dollar agrochemical company (U-North) therefore threatening to compromise the case, Michael is called upon to clean up the mess and help his old friend and colleague. However, Clayton soon discovers that his crazy comrade Arthur may actually have a valid reason for going off the deep end, when he begins to unearth the corrupt cabal spearheaded by the villainous Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton), the lead counsel for U-North.
Clooney once again proved to me why he is the closest thing to the second-coming of Cary Grant or Clark Gable, with a magnificent performance as the morally conflicted attorney trying to keep both his personal and professional life from falling apart. He is sans his usually swagger in this understated performance, as Clayton is a man of few words, silently suffering from a myriad of problems while doing his very best to keep his life from collapsing completely. The rest of the cast is superb as well, especially Swinton, Wilkinson, and a surprisingly excellent Sydney Pollack (Marty Bach, the firm's senior partner and Michael's boss).
While the film never strays from being very suspenseful, those of you who are action addicts may be a bit disappointed and consider this a `slow' film. It's a somber, realistic and intelligent movie that is brimming with symbolism. A film you need to pay close attention to from beginning to end in order to understand the intricate plot, so make sure you watch it without any distractions. You may even get lost in the middle of it, but no need to fret, for everything comes together nicely in the end (some people may argue too nicely, but for me personally, it works).
I enjoyed everything about this one. Writer and first time director Tim Gilroy (past screenplays include "The Bourne Identity" and its sequels, "Proof of Life", "The Devil's Advocate" etc...) paints a much more realistic and intelligent story than his past efforts. Also, the film's hauntingly beautiful score was outstanding, kudos to James Newton Howard ("The Fugitive", "The Prince of Tides", "Blood Diamond", etc... etc...) as he successfully added so much to the film's never-ending suspense and drama.
This is definitely my favorite film of 2007. I would highly recommend that you give it a shot. Five Stars!

Oh my god this movie was slow. It was the most un-thrilling thriller I have ever seen. I didn't even feel any real moral or emotional struggle in the Clayton character. Tilda Swinton was weird and sweaty. Only Tom Wilkenson was enjoyable, even though he's the nut case.
