There is a lot going on in this movie. It is part legal thriller, part mystery, part politics, and part psychological drama. And it's George Clooney as the go-to guy. In Up in the Air, he was the go-to guy for firing people. In Michael Clayton, he's the go-to guy for cleaning up the messes that his law firm and its clients find themselves in. But this time, he's gotten involved in a mess that is bigger than he anticipates.You find out right at the beginning just how much trouble Mr. Clayton is in, and the rest of the movie is a flashback, showing you how he got there. Then you catch up to the present and find out how it all ends. I'll refrain from saying more, because I don't want to ruin it. But if you're a conspiracy theorist, opposed to agribusiness, or like to see the craziest of the nitty gritty, this one's for you. Probably a good one for a miserable winter day.
