(2nd) Movie Review: Michael Clayton


My fellow reviewer gave this movie an 8.5.  I watched carefully, and I can also recommend Michael Clayton to the "R" movie goer.  What's important is what Clayton does as his line of work, but you find out almost everything else before you understand his job.  Here's the bottom line:  you can hire a suit-prostitute to pander to your rich clients, but when he remembers what his mom taught him at the age of 6, he'll throw his high heels into a dumpster and do right.  I really liked the director's "no-dialogue" shots.  Clooney thought this through and made every scene worth a thousand words.   I would never have thought of getting out of my Mercedes to go up a hill and mind-meld with three horses.  I got over that, and I'd say 7.5 with a gold star for the director.  T.B.
