Movie Media: Michael Clayton - Poster, Trailer

I think George Clooney's performance as evidenced in the trailer looks like it could be good. My problem is that, also going by the trailer, I have no idea why I should care. Clooney plays the title character, a lawyer, who most take over an important case against a big corporation when one of his associates apparently has a breakdown. Again, not sure why I should care. The film was written and directed by Tony Gilroy, making his directorial debut. He has previously worked on all three of the Bourne films. Joining Clooney in the cast are Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson, and Sydney Pollack.
