I'm usually not a big fan of Gorge Clooney films, but this movie maybe his best performance of all time. More importantly this movie finally brings light to Tom Wilkinson's phenomenal acting talent. In fact he steals the the spotlight in every scene he so happens to be in. His relentless ranting, as a manic depressive is breath taking. The plot in this movie, is corporate malpractices and the dirty hidden truths on how they are kept from the public light. Gorge Clooney plays Michael Clayton, a lawyer who's sole purpose is to defend and protect the rich from being criminally prosecuted. He's called to Arthur Edens(Tom Wilkinson) assistance after a scandalous inappropriate display at conference room in Milwaukee. The case progresses from something simple, into a depth of lies being concealed by U North, a weed killer corporation. This movie is nominated for 7 oscars, and in my opinion they are well deserved. My rating 9/10!
