Action Crime Drama Mystery Thriller

7.3 / 10

Michael Clayton, a high-priced law firm's fixer, leaves a late night poker game, gets a call to drive to Westchester, and watches his car blow up as he's taking an impromptu dawn walk through a field. Flash back four days. He owes a loan shark to cover his brother's debts (Michael's own gambling habits have left him virtually broke). His law firm is negotiating a high-stakes merger, and his firm's six year defense of a conglomerate's pesticide use is at risk when one of the firm's top litigators goes off his meds and puts the case in jeopardy. While Michael is trying to fix things someone decides to kill him. Who? Meanwhile his son summarizes the plot of a dark fantasy novel.

A given year with SEVERAL great gritty films - REAL movies (imagine that) - seem few and far between nowadays .. 2007 was one of them .. Michael Clayton, Zodiac, American Gangster, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, and others .. - @Friday, July 27, 2018 11:33 PM

This movie is on Netflix, has been for a while, I ignored it because it didn't look interesting, but yesterday I decided to take a chance and watch--and I'm glad I did. A little hard for me to follow but a great movie nonetheless. - @Sunday, February 11, 2018 10:55 AM

The scene where he escapes the car bomb for a precious " moment" with 3 horses is , to me a very respectful acknowledgment to Steven Donaldson's work beginning with Lord fouls bane and Thomas covenant . Ur Lord the unbeliever . Great books , good film . What part do YOU play in the corporate gravy train ? Just asKing 💎 - @Thursday, January 4, 2018 6:24 PM

Brilliant. Can watch this over and over. Like all movies this director was involved in. Bourne as a scriptwriter. Duplicity. - @Tuesday, September 19, 2017 7:00 PM

I do not think Tilda admitted any guilt at the end of this movie of which Clooney recorded.. Didn't really make any sense.. Tilda would say she was saying anything she could to get rid of crazy George clooney - @Friday, December 9, 2016 7:18 PM
