Michael Clayton...Damnit!

There is a joke in the title for anyone that listens to sports radio.

Rachelle and I hired a former student to watch Kylee last night so we could escape to some appetizers, drinks, and the taking in of a very good movie in downtown Seattle. Michael Clayton has been receiving some excellent reviews and I can confirm that the reviews are well deserved. Although the movie's pace is a tad slow and a bit talky in the first 20-30 minutes, the energy picks up and for the final two-thirds of the movie and the audience is on the edge of their seats, playing detective along with Michael.
Rather than summarize the plot for you, I will give you this link to Roger Ebert's four-star review. He does a nice job describing the premise without spoiling the movie.
