Superb legal thriller - Michael Clayton review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
04/04/2008

A superb film which keeps you completely engaged right the way through. Clooney is excellent in the title role of a fixer for a powerful law firm in New York. He has to sort out problems, like a rich guy who is in a hit and run accident, but is not happy doing the job and wants to get back to litigating.

He is called upon to sort out the 'mess' caused by one of their lawyers, Arthur, played brilliantly by Tom Wilkinson, who seems to have gone completely crazy. Arthur's apparent breakdown leads him to try and sabotage his own case representing a chemical company. However, Arthur discovers that the chemical company seems to be responsible for the deaths of many people and his conscience won't let this lie. This is all very inconvenient for the chemical company's lawyer, Karen Crowder, played brilliantly by Tilda Swinton, who will do whatever it takes to preserve the company's 'good name'. Some powerful dramatic scenes, an excellent cast and interesting plot twists and turns keep you enthralled until the end.

George Clooney does it again - Michael Clayton review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
07/10/2008

I'm beginning to think this man can do no wrong. Certainly this isn't a particularly original story, but it is done brilliantly, with superb performances from Tilda Swinton and Tom Wilkinson, with plenty of twists and turns. One measure of a good film is whether you care what happens to the protagonists, good and bad, and I certainly did. A highly satisfying watch.

A fixer who gets fixed - Michael Clayton review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
26/10/2009

Really good thriller. Clooney is excellent and puts in a performance far better than his Oceans movies. You always know that those who clean up others mess will eventually have it dropped on them but the excitement goes right to the end.
