Michael Clayton

MICHAEL CLAYTON (2007) - Oct. 12, 2007
Featuring a really strong performance from George Clooney (as well as equally good performances from people like Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton) this was a well made drama about a fixer who gets embroiled in shenanigans involving a crazy lawyer and a massive lawsuit. First time director Tony Gilroy does a really good job keeping the film compelling, even during the more baffling stretches (the film takes its time giving out all the pertinent information, which actually works really well). ***1/2
