not what I expected

Prelude's review sums up the film's plot quite well so I won't repeat it :)

I must mention that to me, it's "just another lawyer movie". Don't get me wrong, it's a great story, but it's been done so many times, that in the end... it gets boring.

I did not find Clooney's acting to be out of this world or even extraordinary. I found it quite plain and void of feelings. Didn't feel any interest in any of the characters.

I also didn't understand why Swinton got an Oscar, she didn't give that great a performance.

I did enjoy the cinematography, the editing, Tom Wilkinson's acting, and the last scene between Clooney and Swinton.

That said, don't watch if you're tired, as the film can be slow at times.
