We went to see Michael Clayton a few weeks ago. George Clooney does a good job. The plot is more of a foil for a character study, though. Clooney’s struggles with his role as a frustrated lawyer in a “fixer” role, and his less-than-simple family life, pluck more interest than the case at the heart of the film. (Synopsis: big agro/chem firm covering up a dangerous product. Think Constant Gardener without Africa.) An 82 is a strong Metacritic score… a touch too strong for me.
