With his blocky size, his surfeit of charisma and screen gravitas, Clooney looks like something beyond the mere human, like he has swallowed every leading man in Hollywood and perhaps had Casey Affleck for a palate cleanser. Tilda Swinton continues to look like something beyond human as well, but more in a hire-me-for-a-remake-of-The-Man-Who-Fell-to-Earth kind of way. They slug it out herein for the fate of the little people, the human beings, making this more like, say, Transformers or Rise of the Silver Surfer than most legal thrillers.
