A film with the right parts, but ends up being too staged : The film does have a strong feel and Clooney gives a solid performance. I found Pollack's lawyer especially sharply drawn and convincing. In the end, the movie becomes another rehashing of The Insider. The screenwriter tried to create the typical conflicted sub-plot of the protagonist's battle with his professional/moral obligations and his personal struggles, etc, however this was not highly nuanced. Of course their was the divorced dad angle too for more contrived emotional push. The one liners that are stirring in the trailers turn out be banal in the context of the plot, which turns into a simple-minded rampage of a corporation hell-bent on eliminating all whistle-blowers. As for the attorney who "sees the light", although strongly performed by Wilkinson, his self-revelation becomes cliched scene-by-scene.

George Clooneys performance drives this tense corporate thriller from Bourne trilogy screenwriter James Gilroy, who makes his directorial debut here. Clooney is the eponymous "hero," a burnt-out lawyer who cleans up legal messes created by the clients of a large law firm. When a crisis materializes in the form of the firms top shark (Tom Wilkinson) suffering an apparent meltdown while defending a shady chemical company from lawsuits, Clayton discovers not only a cover-up to deny payments to farmers injured by the companys products, but a chance to find some purpose in the face of his lifes downward. Clooney (who also co-produced the film) brings soul and quiet determination to his beleaguered character, and theres excellent support from Wilkinson, Sydney Pollack (also a co-producer), and Michael OKeefe Gilroys script also does a solid job of stacking the deck against Clayton as he attempts to ferret out the truth behind the cover-up. Unfortunately, the film settles for a pat conclusion that, while emotionally satisfying, feels forced and delivers an overly simplistic message (corporations can be bad morally questionable work can make one feel dirty). And Tilda Swinton is wasted in a thankless role as the chemical companys nerve-wracked and unsympathetic legal counsel. Still, Clooney fans will appreciate this fine addition to his growing roster of flawed heroes. -- Paul Gaita

Description


Attorney Michael Clayton is a "fixer," the go-to guy when his powerful New York law firm wants a mess swept under the rug. But now hes handed a crisis even he may not be able to fix. The firms top litigator in a $3-billion case has gone from advocate to whistleblower. And the more Michael tries to undo the damage, the more hes up against forces that put corporate survival over human life including Michaels. George Clooney portrays Michael, backed into a career corner that offers little room to fight free in this suspense- and star-packed thriller written and directed by Tony Gilroy (writer/co-writer of the Bourne movie trilogy). Keep your eyes on Michael Clayton. He has some life-or- death decisions to make. Fast.

I would have liked to watch this again. Saw it once. I enjoyed the performances, and the quiet but deadly build-up. As I recall, no car chases, which is a blessing in any movie. Tilda Swintons role as the unraveling robot is masterful. Clooney plays a corporate burnout well enough to be one. Some people call it predictable, but I did not find it so, because I viewed it more as a character study that a plot-driven story. The guy who plays Clooneys friend has a great turn at a monologue that shows how clever -- and sane -- he is, despite everyone believing hes nuts.

Corporate/Suspense...Great Combo!
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
I was a bit skeptical about this movie when I first heard about it, but I finally got around to picking it up on Blu Ray. First off let me start by saying this movie is not for people who only want action, explosions, and shootouts. Ill start off with the BD details: The picture is excellent on this film, its smooth and the skin tones have a nice color and smooth texture, the outdoor scenes are very crisp...I was impressed with the picture. The sound is only 5.1 DD, this was a bit disappointing, but got the job done nonetheless. Clear highs, great voice depth, and deep lows when needed...I cant complain to much.

Now onto the movie...I will admit I sat down to watch this and figured it was gonna be slow, however its a good paced slow. I enjoyed the characters, and George Clooney did an excellent job. His position at a huge law firm requires him to be serious and quick on his toes...George does this perfectly and really convinced me.

I found myself enjoying the "thinking" throughout the entire movie, who did this, whats going on with that, it made for a very good experience! I wont give away any spoilers, since they are the best part of this movie. All in all id say this one is definitely worth checking out, you wont be disappointed.
A top notch thriller
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
George Clooney portrays a really pushed to the wall attorney which
portrays a modern day possible situation which may be happening right
in our own back yard. This film keeps you on the edge of your seat with
just a minimum of tapering off of action so you may catch your breath.

    Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :0
    I bought this through Amazon.com and shipping as fast. However this thermoter was not well made, as it has limited instruction manual. When we first turn it on, the wireless receiver could not syn with the probe. There was no instruction on how to make it syn. It doesnt have 365/7/24 customer service. Fortunately, I went back on Amazon and found some reviewers mentioning resetting the wireless with the probe will make it work, and we did just that. Thank you for those of you out there posting this piece of important info.

    Also, the set has very limited cooking temperature for something as common as beef (rate, medium, medium rare and well) and its kind of disappointing. I am sure this thermometer can do a lot more if their instructions are written in a more detail format.

    For those of us who likes to color co-ordinate our kitchen, this thing only has red color. I just dont know why red. Will silver or grey be better or much more easy for our eyes?

    Oregon Scientific seems to always offer quality products. This item works as described. We use it all the time to monitor items on our outdoor grill. This way we can be inside prepping other items and still "keep an eye" on whats cooking outside. We also use it with our kitchen oven.

    The preset "ready" temps for various items are helpful - but you can override and set your own temperature preferences.

    Definitely recommend it. In fact Im buying two as Christmas gifts right now.
    BEST TURKEY EVER!!!
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
    We wanted to try something new this year for Thanksgiving. Cooking a turkey on the grill following a Bobby Flay recipie. I changed all the grates and flavorizer bars in my Webber Genesis to stainless steel. I then bought this thermometer. The recipie called for presise tempurature control. We started kind of late due to some family obligations. At 3pm we fired up the grill and placed the turkey with the tempurature probe placed in the proper position. Basting was required every 10 minutes for the first 30 minutes. the thermometer worked like a charm. no comunication errors no problems till it came time to baste for the third time. Why was there so much black smoke comming out of the the bbq? Because the entire turkey was going up in flames. We turned off the bbq. put out the fire and transfered the turkey into the oven. the oregon scientific thermometer never missed a beat. 3hours and 45 minutes later the voice said its almost done. and you know what? it was. Turns out we served the best turkey ever. very moist. I highly recomend this thermometer. very high quality product.

    What can I say, this product never worked properly. The unit would turn on, but despite my best efforts, thorough reading of the manual, etc, would not register temeratures (at all, ever)......but heres the kicker I REPEATEDLY attempted to contact Oregon Scientific....NO RESPONSES. NONE. As far as Im concerned, this unit should be considered warranty-less, as there is simply NO CUSTOMER SERVICE TO BE FOUND from Oregon Scientific. I hate to tell people not to buy based on a solitary defective unit, but coupled with Oregon Scientifics baffling refusal to even respond to customer inquiries, Id have to suggest steering clear of this unit, or being prepared to live with the consequences if you get one of the defective units.

    A dream job rapidly becomes a nightmare for Amélie, a Japanese-born Belgian woman, who suffers a series of increasingly humiliating demotions after she lands a job as an interpreter at a large Japanese corporation. Sylvie Testud earned the French equivalent of the Academy Award® for her haunting performance as the put-upon, but indomitable Amélie. Director Alain Corneau's (Tous les matins du monde) perversely funny adaptation of Amélie Nothomb's 1999 autobiographical novel loses nothing in translation in deftly dissecting the universal absurdities of corporate culture.

    Finally, a book that brings the vision of truly good governance down to earth. Ram Charan, expert in corporate governance and best-selling author, packs this book with useful tools and techniques to take boards and their companies to a higher level of performance. Charan puts his finger on a growing problem for boards: the disconnect between directors' efforts and their results. The added time and attention boards invest is not translating into better governanceâthat is, governance that adds value to the business. Boards That Deliver gets beyond the rhetoric of corporate governance reform. It captures the tried-and-true practices used by high-performance boards. In contrast to experts who base prescriptions on number-crunching exercises, Charan identifies the real problems that drain directors' time and suppress their best judgmentsâand explains clearly and succinctly how boards can solve those problems. These battle-tested solutions help boards achieve what rules and regulations alone cannotâto get succession right, refine a winning strategy, and design a rational CEO compensation package. Good governance requires leadership. Boards That Deliver is the no-nonsense guide for directors and CEOs who are rising to the leadership challenge to make their boards a competitive advantage.
