Directed by Tony Gilroy2007 Thriller
Rated R
*** 1/2
A by-the-numbers law thriller that rises above the pack due to superb performances from George Clooney and (especially) Tilda Swinton, and surprisingly adept directing from first-timer Tony Gilroy (writer of the Bourne films). The biggest flaw of the film is Tom Wilkinson's ridiculously over-the-top performance, with one scene in particular in which he is clearly acting to get an Oscar nomination. Entertaining but forgettable.
