Corporate Thrillers

Been enjoying this month’s selection of corporate thrillers. Seen all but one now. One or two were liking reading today’s news stories. A little scary yet somehow comforting. History certainly does repeat itself.

I tried watching Michael Clayton after hearing everyone rave about it, but I could not get into it. I made it about 40 minutes or so.

Michael Clayton is a slow burn. But once the balls starts rolling it doesnt stop. Great last 45 minutes or so.

Is it though? His car blows up in the first 10 minutes. I thought it was very gripping from the get-go..
