A lawyer drama without a courtroom, about a "fixer" (George Clooney) who really needs to get out of a business that is gnawing at his soul. Others around him (like the superb characters played by Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton) have already paid a high price. As much as the acting impressed me, I have to give props to the completely immersive script. It managed to make this world feel absolutely authentic, yet at the same time wasn't afraid to spin into ambiguous lyricism.

A throwback to the thrillers of the 70's in tone and plot. Well done on all fronts. Great beginning and ending especially.
