Michael Clayton was one of those movies that i watched waiting for it to give me brilliant experience and it didn't quite do that. With all the Oscar nominations (and wins) and George clooney, it was supposed to be a movie which would blow you away atleast in my head.
Its named after the protagonist played by George Clooney who plays a "fixer" for a highly successful law firm. He seems to have a reputation of fixing everyone;s problems just not his own. But the conflict arises when the main attorney of the firm has a birth of conscience while defending a mega corporation and even Clayton cannot handle the mess.
But the movie was not particularly remarkable or the one which i would be wowed with. It moved at a slow pace and the buildup to the story was too long to have the effect that the last 15 mins had. Its a kind of role which fits Clooney like a glove but then again we have watched him play such roles before.
It a decently good movie if you decide to stick to it for a while. Maybe its that kind of a movie that would grow on you but then i wasn't that impressed with it the first time.
Rating: 6.5/10
