Michael Clayton (2007)
Starring: George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson, Tilda Swindon
Director: Tony Gilroy
Country: USA
Genre: Thriller
This film excels in every aspect of filmmaking.
Legal thrillers aren’t necessarily a genre that include movies one would want to watch over and over again, at least not normally. Michael Clayton is an exception to that rule as Tony Gilroy has crafted one of the most brilliant thrillers in the last decade. It’s really anything new, however every.single.aspect of the film is the best it could possibly be. From the outstanding performances by Clooney, Swindon, and particularly Wilkinson, to the highly intelligent, but never condescending script, to the precise direction, everything works together so well to tell this story of corporate corruption and how different people deal with ‘right’ and ‘wrong’.
