4.0 out of 5 stars
Taut, suspenseful film intent on making the audience think,
By
This review is from: Michael Clayton (Widescreen) (DVD)
It might be a sweeping generalisation, but films are evolving to the point where careful study is necessary to soak up every last detail. Michael Clayton, the 2007 film starring George Clooney, is no exception. From the opening moments of the film, the audience is thrust into a world that doesn't quite make sense: a voice-over by one of the principal characters seems absolutely insane, yet compelling enough to get you to stick around for what comes next. And indeed, what comes next is a taut, psychological thriller that involves litigation, a lawsuit by plaintiffs suffering at the hands of a nameless corporation, and a lone underdog willing to fight the system to right these wrongs. You've heard it all before, right?Wrong. Michael Clayton, the titular character, is a "fixer," working for a large law firm to handle the small but significant problems that arise. From being called in to assist with a hit-and-run by a prestigious client, to playing babysitter to a senior partner suffering from acute bipolar syndrome, Clayton can do it all. The problem is that he's been doing it all for the past thirteen years and would rather be in the courtroom than out of it. So when a problem arises with a huge case involving 500 plaintiffs that's about to come off the rails, Clayton is called in to fix it. The problem is that one of the other characters involved in the case will do anything -- anything -- to ensure that the case reaches a successful conclusion. The characterisation in the film is powerful, wringing wrenching and thought-provoking performances from Tom Wilkinson, Sydney Pollack, and Tilda Swinton in particular. The plot never lets up either, with surprises waiting behind each bend of Tony Gilroy's outstanding story. What's even more amazing is the fact that the entire plot, revolving around a legal battle between Goliath and 500 Davids, doesn't take one step into a court room, and yet it's the one of the most powerful films on the subject matter of the past decade. Michael Clayton is an outstanding film and is well worth your time.

Very Boring,
By Beatrice "Movie Collector" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Michael Clayton (Widescreen) (DVD)
I heard alot about this film, but when I finally bought it, I was disappointed.I found the story line very confusing, and hard to follow. After about half I was so bored I turned it off and didn't finish watching it until a couple of weeks later. I really regret spending money of this film.
