Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

adonis98-743-186503 Michael Clayton, a high-priced law firm's fixer, leaves a late night poker game, gets a call to drive to Westchester, and watches his car blow up as he's taking an impromptu dawn walk through a field. Flash back four days. He owes a loan shark to cover his brother's debts (Michael's own gambling habits have left him virtually broke). Michael Clayton a movie where George Clooney makes me wish that i went back in time to see 'Batman & Robin' that although very bad it's actually better paced and much more entertaining than this political drama. (0/10)

Davis P Michael Clayton (2007) is a real piece of art, it hits every note spot on. There are certain things that I look for in a film, things i believe they must have in order for it to be a success. I look for correct casting, quality performances by the members of the cast, good script, and a satisfactory filmmaking style that fits that specific film. I can say with confidence that Michael Clayton fits the bill on every single thing I mentioned. Clooney gives a good performance as he always does, as does the ever talented Tilda Swinton (this was her Academy Award win). If you ask me, Tom Wilkinson comes out on top here as far as acting goes. He gives a fierce passionate performance. Wilkinson is a fantastic actor and he absolutely nails it here as a very crucial character in the plot. The script moves everything along at a fairly good pace, not too slow, and not fast either. I liked the pace and thought the runtime of two hours suited it well. towards the end things kinda speed it up, in an appropriate way, because everything is coming to a point. I loved the way they chose to end the film. It was raw and very dramatic, made for a grand finale to an exciting well done piece of art. 9/10 for Michael Clayton.

witherby23 "Successful white men in thrillingly unique situations, starring George Clooney performing ordinary acts like pressing car alarms or having stare competitions with his costarring, monologuing actors." Is a clearer,more edited title, if there be a soul,dwelling on our shared rock whizzing through infinite dim unknowns, has a pinch of curiosity to thy above summary. A summary that, in my worthless opinion, encapsulates this two hour background nose for my grandma who can't fall asleep without a television within twelve feet of her. Bright Points! It is a interesting complex, carefully complicated, Hollywood built script; but with 2007 Hollywood comes all its districts, embarrassingly blatant jelly rolls. What I mean by this is mainly based off the films white washed cast, headed by Mr.A lister, George Clooney, as his salt & pepper sexy self, but this time he's "fixer" with some deep down feelings behind his big beautiful soul windows! For whatever reason just about every character is built with their own outer brash confidence, shown through intense star downs and hard monologues that everyone totally kills. Last words: Interesting story, if you want to get into it, but don't be in a rush to throw "Michael Clayton" at the top of your watch list.

LeonLouisRicci When Reviewing a Near Perfect Film there is a Tendency to Let Loose so many Adjectives and Accolades that the True meaning of the Praise becomes Overwhelmed by the Verbiage. Such is the Situation with "Michael Clayton".Rarely does a Movie contain Greatness at Virtually every level of the Craft. What also Surprises is that the Tone of the Film is Low-Key and completely Character Driven, Although the Plot is as Topical and Important as they come.It's Complex (divert the eyes during one key scene and the reason and meaning of the important horse scene is lost in ether). The Actors are all on the same Wavelength and Contribute equally to the Film's enormous Critical Approval. The Writing is Profound, Philosophical, and Touching, with razor Sharp Wit and Symbolism.Every Character is Flawed (save the yet to grow up child) and show Dual and Destructive Behavior. But Each Personality makes its Mark and Lingers. The Movie Haunts. It Enters the Psyche and will Not Leave until You Give it its Due.The People that brought You this decidedly Different Masterpiece of Movie Making are Writer/Director Tony Gilroy, Indelible Screen Performances from George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson, Tilda Swinton, and Sydney Pollack and Supporting Roles that every Actor Nailed.A Welcome, Against the Grain Film that Restores the thing that the most Popular form of Entertainment in modern History can be at its Best. Sensational and Sublime. Note…Multiple viewings are recommended to fully appreciate.
