Michael Clayton Movie
This action-packed suspense thriller chronicles four very pivotal days in the life of Michael Clayton (George Clooney), an attorney who works as a fixer at one of the largest and most powerful New York City law firms. For 13 years he has been cleaning up messy situations for substantial clientele of the firm. Despite being burned-out and disgusted with his depraved clients, Clayton keeps doing his job to pay off his addicted brother's immense debt and his own one. Moreover, he experiences midlife crisis caused by his divorce and a failed personal business. To make matters worse, he is assigned to track down his former mentor, Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson), the firm's top litigator who has a nervous breakdown while defending a shady agrochemical company from a complicated multi-million dollar class action suit. Clayton is faced with a moral dilemma of whether to help his partner or to capture him.
