Fifteen years ago, the screenwriter of The Bourne Trilogy delivered his directorial debut and it was quite a memorable one!  Tony Gilroy both wrote and directed this complex legal thriller starring George Clooney in the title role as a legal “fixer” who solves problems for the clients of his law firm that their lawyers really can’t touch.  And now Michael comes upon a problem involving one of those said lawyers – his long-time friend Arthur played by Tom Wilkinson – and his involvement with a major class action lawsuit involving a major agricultural company who might be breaking the law.  Tilda Swinton won an Oscar for her portrayal of the lead council for that company and she delivers a memorable performance among many others from a top-flight cast firing on all cylinders.
