Good old fashioned quality acting made this movie a worthy contender for best picture. "Michael Clayton" is the best legal drama I have seen since "The Verdict" with Paul Newman.
It is not over the top character acting but realistic acting at its finest. I am not sure exactly how many nominations it received, but best picture, best actor and best supporting actor told me I needed to see it, and boy am I glad I did.
George Clooney stand up and take a bow, you have delivered a performance that must have been very close to winning the Oscar.
After seeing so much rubbish of late at the box office, thank you "Michael Clayton and co" for restoring my faith that a good movie with quality acting can still be made.
See it!
