Review of Michael Clayton (2007) by Ryancarroll88 — 27 Aug 2010

I applaud the first-time director Tony Gilroy for tackling a corporate suspense thriller with such level-headed decidedness, but the obfuscated dialogue and screenplay dulls the experience, and I didn't find the main character, Michael Clayton, affecting enough to hold a vested interest in.

However, to the movie's benefit, he cast is well-played, especially Tilda Swinton as the fragile corporate hound-dog.
