Michael Clayton


MICHAEL CLAYTON's biggest sin is that it's just plain boring. The film gives us no reason to root for George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, or anyone else in the film. I didn't care about this guy's life or his problems, and I wound up shutting off the movie right around the beginning of the third act.

Will someone tell my why this is getting critical acclaim (says the only guy on Earth who doesn't hate ZARDOZ)?

Henceforth you shall be labelled as "The man who deos not hate Zardoz". Now that is something to put on your tombstone.

Well, that certainly makes me unique, if nothing else.

Truth be told, I tried to watch the movie while sitting in coach in the middle of the night - not exactly the premium viewing experience.
