 Michael Clayton May 8, 2008
I bought this movie because Clooney got a nomination for best actor for it. I haven't watched it yet, but a lot of people told me it was very boring.
Clooney is not just a movie star. He has become a first class May 5, 2008

dramatic actor. Michael Clayton is not so much a great movie as it is an award worthy performance by George Clooney & Tom Wilkerson. George Clooney plays an attorney (Clayton) known as a fixer. He is brought in late to clean up cases that have gone south. He was a fine litigator, but never got his chance. Tom Wilkerson is a top flight litigator who cracks up & changes sides. It is Clooney's job to clean up the mess. They both work for a morally bankrupt law firm hired to defend a corrupt chemical company. Key moments of the movie take place in Milwaukee & Wisconsin farm country. They both are turned by a crisis of conscience & somebody tries to kill them both in separate incidents. Not a particularly brillant plot. But the acting is. This movie should be seen because it is good & entertaining, but also for the transcendent acting.
Different and Great May 5, 2008
I really enjoyed this film. I thought the performances were great and the plot was good. My other half was a little confused with the chronology of it to start with, but it soon became clear for her.
This is certainly a "Saturday Evening In" film.
 an interesting movie May 3, 2008
I thought it was slow at the beginning, but then it started picking up and turned out to be exciting.
The plot is good, not straight-forward, but easy to follow and the actors' performances are great. you have a little bit of everything: a conscious attorney trying to make a difference, Clooney somewhere in between, trying to decide which side he is on, Tilda giving a very good performance as the big-shot evil attorney in charge who is fighting with her consience when she has to "remove" people.
Overall, a good thriller and a nice weekend movie.
Not up to the mark May 3, 2008

Though this movie has been much appreciated in general, i do not feel it's damn good or anything. Just that it's made on a true story and the lead actor is George Clooney and all.. have helped it create it's hype. I am not saying it's a bad movie, but it's nowhere in the same league as Erin Brokovich or Philadelphia.
