Solid, complex character study from the team that's single-handedly championing the genre…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 02 Oct 2007

It's better than good; it's such a crackling and mature and accomplished movie that it just about restores your faith…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for New York Observer (1,400) on 02 Oct 2007

Michael Clayton literally knocks its brains out trying to be clever, but it ends up being the same kind of smart-alecky filmmaking most of…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 02 Oct 2007

Deliberate, demanding and character-driven, Michael Clayton flies in the face of what sells at the multiplex. I couldn't have liked it more…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Robert Wilonsky (520) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Oct 2007

Gilroy's up to the challenge, as is his uniformly astounding cast--Clooney, especially, as the charmed and charming man stripped of his superpowers,…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for KyleSmithOnline.com (53) on 30 Sep 2007

So: the crazy people are the truly sane ones. Does this sound more like a complex 70s thriller or a dizzy 60s dream…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Derek Malcolm (772) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 28 Sep 2007

Clooney has seldom been better as Clayton, a man beginning to feel that his skill is not exactly being put to good uses…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Harvey S. Karten (2,210) for Compuserve (1,948) on 28 Sep 2007

Melodramatic in tone, complex in thought, this 'Clayton' is a thinking person's John Grisham…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Kevin Courrier (78) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 28 Sep 2007

So bogged down in plot that it has little in the way of suspense…

By Martin Hoyle (37) for Financial Times (1,822) on 28 Sep 2007

A potentially corny plot is stylishly executed, abetted by a perfect cast…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 27 Sep 2007

A somewhat far-fetched, melodramatic ending restores some self-esteem to Clayton…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By James Christopher (268) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 27 Sep 2007

Gorgeous George is wonderfully jaundiced as Michael Clayton, an amoral corporate lawyer who has made his name by defending the indefensible…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Saxon Bullock (36) for Film4 (1,522) on 27 Sep 2007

A dark, engaging drama that asks some difficult moral questions, Michael Clayton is a classy piece of filmmaking with yet another in a long…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Matt Mueller (72) for Total Film (3,532) on 27 Sep 2007

Continuing to seek out writer/directors with something to say, Clooney's latest pair-up packs its anti-corporate agenda with enough meat to…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Laura Bushell (49) for BBC.com (1,500) on 27 Sep 2007

It's all very smooth, but the problem is it's also a bit anodyne and unlikely to hold up in comparisons to Clooney's other 'serious' films,…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Lorien Haynes (15) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 27 Sep 2007

Think old chewing gum with a masculine flavour…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Kim Newman (791) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 27 Sep 2007
