Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house “fixer” at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of Kenner, Bach and Ledeen’s dirtiest work at the behest of the firm’s co-founder, Marty Bach (Sydney Pollack). Though burned out and hardly content with his job as a fixer, his divorce, a failed business venture and mounting debts have left Clayton inextricably tied to the firm.

At U/North, meanwhile, the career of litigator, Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) rests on the multi-million dollar settlement of a class action suit that Clayton’s firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. But when Kenner Bach’s brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney, Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) sabotages the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life.

Totally original. One out of the box. Clever. A bit slow at the start. But it was an intriguing film. Cheshire Cat on 27/12/2007 at 8:19:08 AM

I found the movie to be a bit slower that i would have liked, George Clooney mad up for it though!!! kelita on 1/12/2007 at 2:27:06 PM

Good movie. Well worth seeing. Princess Fiona on 22/11/2007 at 10:27:14 PM

Very entertaining movie. Good acting, kept my interested throughout even though the initial plot was not alway explanatory. However this added to the "ahh" factor at the conclusion. Would like to see it again. mackenzie on 10/11/2007 at 9:45:35 PM

Was lucky enough to get free tickets, but quite disappointed in the movie. Story was slow to take off, with bizarre rantings, and got bogged down with too many sub plots. Afraid even the over-done close ups of Clooney couldn't save this movie for me. Netty on 2/11/2007 at 12:02:32 AM

Very surprising. I thought it would be a bit boring. It had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what will happen next. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!! WADE on 1/11/2007 at 7:48:59 AM

Who ever walked out on this one was kidding themselves. This movie was absolutely fantastic. Sydney Pollack and George Clooney are both great actors, and what an entertaining film. Very well written. brenden on 30/10/2007 at 10:27:19 PM

Good movie. Ending lacked a bit, but well put together. Not much of a storyline, but still interesting and as always, George Clooney is hot!!! Leahs1612 on 29/10/2007 at 8:56:08 PM
