Call it a competition of critics.. a deal was made between me and atlee (my rival critic @ NITIE).. tht we r gonna see a new movie every friday..and rate it :-) we sound a bit "aidey" rite :-)
So this friday i got a chance to spend a good 2+ hrs watching Michael Clayton at Fun Cinemas, andheri.. now was i biased coz.. already the nominations of academy awards 2008 were announced and i knew it got 7 nominations..
First 30 mins of the movie has the slow pace only to build a well crafted thrilling plot towards the end.. Tony gilroy's narration could be inspired by the quentin's style (pulp fiction) ..present-->flashback-->present..
and yes mani ratnam is also the one who loves this style of narration..(Yuva, Saathiya)..
Michael Clayton is backed up by yet another gripping background scores by James howard(shyamalan's favorite) and the sterling peformances by George Clooney as the "fixer", Tom wilkinson as mentally deranged attorney and tilda swinton as chief of agri products company..
As the mystery unfolds towards the end i felt the worth of every rupee spent on this movie .. jst as clooney did for his 50$ ride...
Go and watch this movie ..and.. ya u do have another excuse... tht none of the hindi movies has released this weekend..
