I'm not sure why I bother to watch movies that the critics just love. Much of the time, these "critically acclaimed" movies are just not very good. Michael Clayton is no exception. I spent most of the movie waiting for it to get to the good part. It had some descent acting and a marginal amount of suspense/drama but it just wasn't all that interesting or even barely entertaining. I usually love movies like this, but this one just didn't live up to the hype at all.
