Jamie passion and passionfruit!

An enjoyable thriller without having us hanging on the edge of our seats, and is best described as adult drama which has a not too obvious plot and plenty of issues or moral dilemmas to debate.  George Clooney is aided by Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson and Sydney Polack to create a believable cast of lawyers and fixers in the murky pastures of corporate crime and responsibility.  The plot may not be that exciting but it is revealed in due time so we get hooked on working out what is really going on.  Clooney reiterates his ability to carry a film with a performance that is understated and never obvious.  Swinton does a great job as we would expect from her.  Tony Gilroy’s debut film is an auspicious one and while this was justifiably not film of the year, it has plenty of merits.
