Michael Clayton represents the everyman striving for human morals and ideals in a world ruled by corporate conglomerates. We often are bombarded with struggles between man and evil corporations polluting our homes, airwaves, forests and rivers. This is a classic tale of David versus Goliath. In the same way the small guy wins over the giant.

The tone of the film is composed in muted shades of grey, lost in the pure void of commercial office blocks and eerie fluorescent lighting. This is complimented the by stillness of dusk and the lethalness of silent assassins. Much if the film's shocks and turns happen behind closed doors in main office blocks, and behind locked apartment doors. It is representative of the truth on the edge of revelation but silenced by the sly powers that be.

Not a bad film, but I have seen this scenario before, so it was not a film busting newy, it has been used in many a drama and TV movie,

Watching Clooney really act for the first time in a serious movie was quite good considering his acting in the past was a bit like Nicolas Cage, overacting seems to be their trait. What let him down was when the car was blown up, why oh why did he have to look a little bit up and to his right, was there a person with a cue board, if a car blows up you look at the explasion and not a cue card. When an actor/actress does not play the part correctly it make the movie look like a movie and not escapism from reality, it spoils it totally for all film buffs. I like a good film, but I don't like bad actors. Best actor in the movie was Sidney Pollock, now he could act.

The only reason it was nominated for 7 Oscars was that there were a few well known producers around to give it a good push.

Like a lot of things in life, It's not what you know, it's who you know. Oh so sad when films are hyped up and then dissapoint because of all the bull,

I enjoyed this movie. George Clooney was on typically good form, but not sure why he was oscar nominated, or why Tilda Swinton won an oscar. Tom Wilkinson is also good in this movie and I found it got better as it went on and a nice twist at the end. You should certainly enjoy it, I just don't see why any of the perfromances were seen as outstanding. If you compare with Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises for instance. I haven't seen Daniel Day Lewis yet in There Will Be Blood, but I am sure he is incredible.

A look into what really goes on behinnd the scenes as people play power games. The murder was very like what happend to Dr Kelly which should wake a few more of you brainwashed morons up. This film may confuse people under mind control as it tries to get you to think

George and Tilda perform superb in this movie. I suppose you could treat it as an easy legal thriller but is best watched when you are alert and concentrating and the movie will bring so much more. The movie is quite slow but worth a watch.

Disapointing slow confusing movie did not live up to the hype. How on eath Tilda Swinton won an Oscar for her bit part in this is unbelivable!!

Anticipated an "action packed thriller" (that's how it was described). Found the reality to be a slow moving and confusing film. What was Tom Wilkinson up to? Switched off half way through totally baffled. Another movie not living up to its professional reviews...unfortunately they pursued me to buy them. I never seem to learn!

Clooney gives a good performance in the role of the "janitor", a lawyer sent to clean up the mess after rich clients are involved in hit and runs, or caught shoplifting. It's a great film, and well worth a watch, but the relatively slow pace may not be to everyone's taste.

Went to see this in the cinema. Absolutely fantastic. A definitly buying it on DVD

An excellent thriller that keeps you guessing all the way through. George plays a lawyer getting squeezed from both sides and is running out of options. The last scene is extraordinary and reminds me of another backseat scene starring Bob Hoskins! See this movie
