(2007)
A lovely little conspiracy thriller, albeit it may not quite have quite merited the Oscar attention it received. Subtle and low-key, with great performances and Tony Gilroy's no-frills approach to the direction adding much tonal resonance.
The scene of a main character's murder is quite brilliant, shot all in one take with the kind of efficiency from the perpetrators you'd expect. Clooney is on form and Sydney Pollack, Tilda Swinton and Tom Wilkinson lend fine support.
