Saw this last night. Pretty decent fair with George Clooney playing more world weary than his usual characters but still within his range. Plays a "fixer" for a law firm that is involved in a class action suit for a chemical company. Problems ensue when the chief litigator has had enough of the client and appears to go crazy. (This is a bit over the top as some lawyers excel in making their unethical tactics make sense to themselves). The company or the lawfirm has to take some action to prevent the litigator from screwing the pooch. Except for an odd time shift, a mild thriller with little action and much of it straight forward. No car chases or fighting scenes. A murder done clinically. The time shift derails some suspense so I wonder why its done. I recommend it but am not sure it is in the best movie of the year category.
