But its the way thatMichael Claytonis paced and acted that makes it soar surprisingly well.
Michael Mannoften makescrime movies, and some likeHeatandCollateral are certainly more focused on violent/action-packed crimes.
The subject matter remains serious, so maybe its a laugh through the tears/pain kind of thing.

Of course, the acting helps, too.
Its an all-around great movie, really.
Plenty of theserevolve around the mafia and/or organized crime, which makes something likeThe Wolf of Wall Streetstand out.

Its entertaining, excessive, harrowing, unnerving, hilarious, and kind of soul-crushing, all at once.
