I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Only two 2007 movies left after this one.

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.

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.
