Finally got around to watching the movie. I'm not really sure what to think. The movie was slow, it had a good ending. I'm not sure if I agree with all of the oscar nominations that it's up for Michael Clayton (George Clooney) has a nack for negotiating with people to get what he wants, either by pursasion or by bribes. Michael Clayton works for a big law firm, that is essentially an outsourced lawfirm working for a much bigger client, who is up against an enormous class action lawsuit. The lead council for the firm has essentially a psycotic episode and Michael Clayton is a very good friend of his, is assigned to bring him back to sanity and get him back on his medication. The only thing is that the lead council may have been on to something that could sway the class action lawsuit, and the big client wants to silence everyone that knows something. Dealing with this and his day to day life is essentially what this movie is about.
