Finally, meet Michael Clayton. A Laywer. But not at court. He is what the firm internally refers to as a fixer. He has to clean up the legal messes of the biggest clients. Everything behind the curtain. And he has to bring his colleague Arthur Edens back to his senses.
“Michael Clayton” must be the most exciting legal thriller I have seen in a long time. I have never cared much about George Clooney, but in this serious title role you can enjoy him without the usual smirk. Tilda Swinton is magnificent as always. She manages to portrait this dual character so impressively convincing, that you just love to hate and pitty her. Michael Clayton is in the movie theatres right now. See the trailer below.
