Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent film! Very underrated. Solid performances from start to finish. Hard to believe Denzel Washington passed up on this script due to a first time director. For those who aim to build a serious movie library: make sure you add this title to your collection.

This is a older movie that we had not seen and was delighted when I was able to purchase it from BestBuy at a good price and my wife really enjoyed watching it and am looking forward to watching again anytime we want.

Michael Clayton is such a unique and different movie, it is definitely one of my favorites. If you want something new and are tired of the same Hollywood clichés this movie will not disappoint.

Worked as described. Was compatible with my Region 1 device.

This is one of my favorite movies especially on Blu Ray. Best scene in this movie is between George Clooney & Tilda Swinton. Priceless.

Good movie. A little hard to follow at times, but supplied twists throughout the film that you do not expect.

Great movie!!!! Would recommend this movie!! Love love it!!

This is George Clooney's best effort at a serious movie. Skip "The American" and go for Michael Clayton instead.

One of Clooney's best movies. Great addition to anyone's movie collection.

This was an absolutely wonderful film, and it looked great on Blu-Ray!

Great movie, great acting. Good story line. Perfect ending.

A great movie, good actors and plot! Recommend highly!

George Clooney brings his A-grade in this heart pounding legal thrill ride.

We picked up a bunch of movies on sale and used Reward Certificates to pay. It was a great deal!

George Clooney is an all time favorite and he is good in almost any movie he ever made.

A great, well crafted suspense thriller that has fantastic cinematography.

I am still impressed my the direction of this movie.

Michael Clayton is tired of his life. He's a "fixer" for a major law firm, meaning that he must deal in deviousness and the problems of rich businesses, and this job has drained him both emotionally and physically and has cost him his marriage and his relationship with his son. Arthur Edens, a friend of Michael's, is the top defense attorney of a fertilizer corporation called U-North in a lawsuit involving health issues that were caused by their products, and during the negotiation process Edens has a breakdown, causing him to strip down and chase a plaintiff through a parking lot. Michael is brought in to repair the disastrous process, but in dealing with Arthur and the information about the lawsuit Michael discovers information that leads him to question his purpose, and his investigation of the matter puts his life in danger. This film is much like a John Grisham novel, both in its dealings with legal issues and its realistic dangers and twists. Tony Gilroy (who co-wrote the Bourne trilogy)makes his directorial debut with this film, and his calm and thoughtful pacing is admirable. This is a very mature thriller, one that is undeniably geared toward adults. This is not a slam-bang film. There are no carchases or gunfights (or really guns at all, for that matter), and because of that fact, the acting, which is fantastic, bears the major weight of the film. George Clooney perfectly expresses the exhaustion of his character and Tilda Swinton, in her Oscar-winning role creates a corporate employee who must control a disaster by any means necessary. Tom Wilkinson, however, is the real reason to see the film. His tormented guilt and madness, which slowly converts itself into a conscience-driven reversal of purpose truly moved me, and although all of the other principal actors were FANTASTIC, Wilkinson truly stuck out of the rest. I highly recommend this film. It is smart and intricate, and in the current film market, it is entirely unique.

i thought this movie was a really cool moive. clooney is awesome! a couple legal terms used may go over your head but its pretty easy to understand what they are talking about. great ending, it was very exciting with little action (which is hard to do). the part with the horses is from that book his son was talking about. he see's a picture of horses on a hill in the book then see's it in real life as well. overall i thought it was a really great movie and i catch something new everytime i watch it. you should deffently get this movie.

this is a good suspense movie a must see. this movie looks great on blu-ray dvd the picture look 100% better.
