MICHAEL CLAYTON NOW AVAILABLE

MICHAEL CLAYTON NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE MICHAEL CLAYTON FROM IMDB

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 & 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 debt 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. Written by Warner Bros. Pictures

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE MICHAEL CLAYTON FROM DVDTALK



Now here's a picture perfect for those who bemoan the lack of quality coming out of Hollywood, or, at the very least, assume a dearth of intelligence. "Michael Clayton" is an assuredly dense, thematically sticky piece of thrillerdom, piloted by complicated psychological impulses, not convention. It's another stab by George Clooney to bring back a little old fashioned character ambiguity to the big screen, and it's his most successful effort yet.

Michael Clayton (Clooney) is a "janitor," a person brought in by his law firm to clean up messes that can't demand the time of a proper legal team. When a protracted lawsuit against a billion-dollar chemical corporation is tripped up by the mental instability of the primary attorney (Tim Wilkinson), Michael is called in to contain the fallout. Once inside the case, Michael's eyes are opened by a multitude of inconsistencies and damaging secrets, putting his own life in jeopardy as he investigates how far the deception leads.

For better (the "Bourne Identity" trilogy) or for worse ("Bait," "The Devil's Advocate") writer Tony Gilroy has survived the business long enough to earn his stars as a director. "Clayton" is an incredible debut for the screenwriter, pulling together a pointed, intelligent legal thriller that isn't quite a legal thriller at all. Gilroy has molded an impassion character study of morally queasy individuals, in a film that handles like a sleek suspense creation custom fitted for mass audiences with a supreme level of patience.


What's so admirable about "Clayton" is that it remains such a moody effort from start to finish. This is a dark film infested with lowlife characters, but Gilroy is infatuated with their choices when shoved up against a wall. The story has little time for heroes and villains, instead conveying the richness of uncertainty, where right and wrong buttress an instinctive hunger for survival. For Clayton and the lawyer characters that line the film (portrayed by Tilda Swinton and Sydney Pollack), justice is almost never a consideration. It's almost as though any proper edict seen to conclusion is only randomly uncovered by routine selfishness, not a sense of moral duty. Gilroy loves to live in these tight spaces, and that's where "Clayton" finds the juiciest bits of drama and legal interaction.
