George Clooney Plays Michael Clayton, a flawed character who is a fixer for a large legal firm who represent U-North a chemical company which is nearing the end of a multi million dollar lawsuit brought by people who have been poisoned by its pesticides. Clayton’s friend and colleague Arthur Edens who has represented U-North has a break down brought on by knowing that U-north knew the damage they were causing but buried it. As Edens becomes more unpredictable he is murdered in an attempt to bury the truth.
Its a good story if a bit predictable, but Clooney is good and Tom Wilkinson who plays Edens is brilliant. The film is really well directed with some really good scenes without any dialogue, I always like these scenes because it get you thinking more about the character.
8/10
