Synopsis

The directorial debut of Tony Gilroy, screenwriter of the Bourne trilogy, stars George Clooney in the title role. Clayton is a fixer working for a powerful New York law firm, which is defending a big corporation that's clearly guilty of poisoning people. When the lead counsel (Tom Wilkinson) goes missing, taking the smoking gun with him, the legal and corporate higher-ups (Sydney Pollack and Tilda Swinton) look to Clayton to "resolve" the matter. Though its plot points and surreal starkness are similar to another fine legal thriller, The Insider, Michael Clayton "is just about perfect as an exercise in the genre" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). With Sydn ey Pollack and Tilda Swinton. Cinematography by Robert Elswit (Magnolia ). Nominated for four Golden Globes. Tony Gilroy---USA---2007---119 mins.

Phenomenal. So much better than I had expected. I really had not given this movie much thought before a good friend said it was fantastic. Indeed it was.
