Michael Clayton is another film I saw a while ago, but didn’t note at the time. George Clooney is a bit of a fixer for a law firm who ends up in a convoluted story involving a major class action lawsuit.
It’s another one of those films that’s constructed in a non-linear fashion as we start near the end of the tale before jumping back to what happened.
I quite enjoyed this legal tale, although perhaps the ending was a little forced, and I’m not entirely sure that I believed in Tilda Swinton’s character who was so insecure despite her meteoric rise to the top.
Having now seen the opening episode of TV series Damages, there are obviously some similarities between the two.
Since it’s long disappeared from cinemas, you’ll probably need to wait for the DVD which I’m sure is coming any day now.
