Watch Michael Clayton For Free

So much average

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Redundant and unnecessary.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

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). Michael Clayton a movie where George Clooney makes me wish that i went back in time to see 'Batman & Robin' that although very bad it's actually better paced and much more entertaining than this political drama. (0/10)

This is a spectacularly good film about a character very much like Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer/fixer. I watch it at least once a year, it's that good. I can't help but wonder, as I write in 2018, whether the makers of this film knew about Michael Cohen and decided he would make an interesting character for a movie. Clooney's fixer is getting older, wondering if the dirty dealers who've used him all their lives will now stand beside him in his retirement. He knows where ALL the bodies are buried, so they'll support him. Right? And of course, their betrayal of him is a surprise to no one except him, very much like Trump and Cohen. That is not a spoiler, because in the very first half-hour of the movie Clayton is nearly killed by a car bomb , which opens up the narrative question "What's going on here?" and "Who exactly wants him dead?" Questions Michael Cohen (are the similar names a coincidence?) may well be asking as he prepares to flip on Trump and testify in the polonium-filled atmosphere of today's Washington-Moscow connection.

The chillingest murder scene you're ever likely to see on screen. The epitome of corporate murder.....

When Reviewing a Near Perfect Film there is a Tendency to Let Loose so many Adjectives and Accolades that the True meaning of the Praise becomes Overwhelmed by the Verbiage. Such is the Situation with "Michael Clayton".Rarely does a Movie contain Greatness at Virtually every level of the Craft. What also Surprises is that the Tone of the Film is Low-Key and completely Character Driven, Although the Plot is as Topical and Important as they come.It's Complex (divert the eyes during one key scene and the reason and meaning of the important horse scene is lost in ether). The Actors are all on the same Wavelength and Contribute equally to the Film's enormous Critical Approval. The Writing is Profound, Philosophical, and Touching, with razor Sharp Wit and Symbolism.Every Character is Flawed (save the yet to grow up child) and show Dual and Destructive Behavior. But Each Personality makes its Mark and Lingers. The Movie Haunts. It Enters the Psyche and will Not Leave until You Give it its Due.The People that brought You this decidedly Different Masterpiece of Movie Making are Writer/Director Tony Gilroy, Indelible Screen Performances from George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson, Tilda Swinton, and Sydney Pollack and Supporting Roles that every Actor Nailed.A Welcome, Against the Grain Film that Restores the thing that the most Popular form of Entertainment in modern History can be at its Best. Sensational and Sublime. Note…Multiple viewings are recommended to fully appreciate.
