The CinePearl Take
George Clooney anchors the film with a weary, world‑weary performance that feels both vulnerable and relentless. Tilda Swinton’s icy brilliance as the enigmatic corporate fixer adds a chilling layer of intrigue. Gilroy’s tight pacing never lets the tension slack, while the story’s exploration of corporate ethics feels unsettlingly relevant.
