Re: Fall \'07 Movie Thread

saw Michael Clayton tonight...it was very good.
It drags a touch in like two places but overall fantastic performances from everyone involved and the final sequence/showdown is terrific...people were cheering in the theater. Also has a wow death scene in it.
Very well done given it was Tony Gilroys rookie debut as a director.

I completely agree. I assumed Gilroy wrote the movie for Clooney since he was great it in, but that wasn't the case. He had a really hard time getting the movie made with him as director, it kicked around for 4-5 years. Clooney originally became involved as he wanted to direct it and refused to take a meeting with Gilroy about acting in it but eventually came around.
