Boring.

Michael Clayton is one of the most sharply scripted films of 2007, with an engrossing premise and faultless acting. Director Tony Gilroy succeeds not only in capturing the audience's attention, but holding it until the credits roll.

I watched this at home and found it horrible. So boring and chopped up. The first 30 minutes I had to figure out what the heck was going on!!! I hated this film and wish I had saved my $3.99.

one of the few and provacative that holds your attention and doesn't let up! i am very impressed with the storyline and the powerful acting roles made by Wilkinson, Clooney, and Swinton. Michael Clayton also does well in establishing a theme that few movies even attempt to work out in corruption of "law firms" but mostly "corruption of the mind"Not something most younger teens nor children may enjoy due to the nature and somewhat complex narrative of the film. but to everyone else i highly recommend this!

For some reason George Clooney is favored by Hollywood

Michael Clayton is great; it is very much worth seeing. This movie held my interest from jump.George Clooney was simply fantastic. I was not expecting to enjoy this film but was pleasantly entertained through the whole film. This is well worth any wait you have to go through.

I have eaten at Tiny Tai quite a few times being I live and work in the area. I had dinner at Tiny Tai in August and our food was undercooked (shrimp.) Then, the past two times I attempted to order out from them the woman on the phone was nasty, the food was not ready in the time she gave me and I was basically told to go somewhere else if I did not like her service. Guess what, from this point forward I will go somewhere else. Thai USA in Huntington Village and Green Leaf in Massapequa are excellent.

to pastapuddin annd cjleersr:I’m glad I read your questions before seeing the film, because it made me pay very close attention; remember the scene with Daniel and Arthur in the alley, where Arthur is holding the bag of bread? Michael says Arthur needs help and should be hospitalized, and Arthur goes into attorney mode and rattles off the three criteria to be able to hospitalize him against his will...I forget those three things, but the key phrase is, Arthur asks, “Do you have those horses?”And later, when Daniel is in Arthur’s loft, looking through the book Daniel’s son had told him to read, they show an illustration of a horse on a hill. So later when Daniel is grieving his friend’s death and contemplating his possible role in it, he sees these three horses on the hill, and has to stop. Got it? To those who panned the film...you’re just not very intelligent...that’s ok, there’s lots more movies made for you than for us.

Finally, a well written, interesting, suspenseful film. Had thought we'd never see another one! Cudos to Clooney for doing something with teeth for a change--would love to see more.

Could not have been more disappointed in a film. Poor script, unnecessary scenes and characters... the whole story could have been told in 20 minutes. Nothing about it grapped you emotionally. Not the characters, their problems, absolutely nothing. I do not know what movie the critics were watching...it was a major bomb.
