Review of Michael Clayton (2007) by Vidsrule — 31 Mar 2013

This movie relies on a perfect complicated-yet-understandable story and the type of acting that is completely grounded in reality. You don't see Clooney have wild ups and downs because his character wouldn't have them.

Same with all other actors including the hit men. Just pros. No yelling or screaming. Scarily, this is probably how pro hitmen work. They don't act or look different. And Wilkenson plays a man in the mists of a manic episode perfrectly.

His is the only character that acts in extremes, but believe me, it's very realistic.
