Michael Clayton Trailer

Michael Clayton (GEORGE CLOONEY) is an in-house "fixer" at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen's dirtiest work at the behest of the firm's co-founder Marty Bach (SYDNEY POLLACK). Though burned out and hardly content with his job as a fixer, his divorce, a failed business venture and mounting debt have left Clayton inextricably tied to the firm. At U/North, meanwhile, the career of litigator Karen Crowder (TILDA SWINTON) rests on the multi-million dollar settlement of a class action suit that Clayton's firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. But when Kenner Bach's brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney Arthur Edens (TOM WILKINSON) sabotages the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life

@myfacesp editing. Some movies will automatically receive editing and other awards such as sound awards because they had a lot of it. Not that if a movie does have a big budget that it doesn't have good sound mixing or sound editing. But those kind of movies will sweep it because there is a lot of it, even if it's sound is mixed and edited horribly, compared to a movie that does it in a subtle but mesmerizing way. In the end Michael Clayton was very underrated.

@myfacesp Juno. That I do mind it losing to. Yes, Juno was okay. But nowhere near the quality of Michael Clayton. I think they felt since it was a "strong woman character" they had to give it something. And I think the editing was also an important part to the movie. It was done in such a fascinating way. In no way is The Bourne Ultimatum better in that (or nearly any) aspect of Michael Clayton. Read the wikipedia article about the 80th Acadmey Awards and see what a critic feels about "most"

@myfacesp No Counrty for Old Men, which is also an amazing movie. You see, it's sad that those two movies had to be in the same year. That being said, I don't know that it would've won in other years. Look, I don't mind it losing to No Country for Old Men. In the end I like Mike better but it is very close. We knew No Country For Old Men was gonna sweep the big awards. But since it was an adapted screenplay it gave Michael Clayton a chance to win that. But nope, they had to give something to

Love this movie. Tony Gilroy (writer/director) is amazing. Love the enitire cast, George, Tom, Sydney, and Tilda. And the editing by John Gilroy (yes, brother of Tony) is amazing. Surprised it wasn't even nominated for editing. Overall, I thought this movie didn't get the praise it deserved. I know it was nomianted for a lot of top Oscars and made some top ten lists (even # 1 on a few just ahead of No Country For Old Men) but it didn't seem to be seen for just how good it was.

To any Americans out there: is Tilda Swinton's accent really that bang-on?

For me, the scene where she's practising her speech in front of the mirror seemed real.

Tilda Swinton was AWESOME
