Seen Eastern Promises, now Michael Clayton.
Only two 2007 movies left after this one.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Eastern Promises is a brutal and original movie, about Russian and Chechen gangsters clashing in London. It’s sly and darkly comedic, and after a quick start, it slows down to a steady pace. Viggo Mortensen does perhaps his best role, and Cronenberg really shines as well. Carefully designing a story, a cinematography and a film that fully delivers, both in quiet moments and in full action scenes.
Michael Clayton could have been a five star movie, it’s not quite there, but still a solid movie, worth rewatching. It’s prime Clooney, at the peak of his career. The setting is moody and stylish, the entire film shot during winter. The story builds slowly, as the plot goes from one setup to another. There is no action or humor, instead a slow building of suspense, showing corporate greed. Michael Clayton (Clooney) is a fixer, a lawyer whose job it is to make clients’ problems disappear. He also has a huge problem with his personal finances. His company is now representing a chemical company, and he’s in the middle of it all. It starts with his car exploding, without him in it, and then jumps back four days. I won’t spoil it further.

Re: What movies are you watching?
It does have a little of that feeling, although doesn’t go as far in the full on conspiracy direction. Rather is feels more real and plausible, with a more sensible government.tragabigzanda wrote:I love Michael Clayton because it feels like a real 70s post-Nixon movie: The China Syndrome, Three Days of the Condor, The Parallax View, The Conversation, Klute, etc.Anders wrote: Michael Clayton could have been a five star movie, it’s not quite there, but still a solid movie, worth rewatching.
