This is obviously a bit of twisted pairing of films, Michael Clayton following Cabin In The Woods, but this is a theme consisting of terrible places to work--and this one counts as much or more than Cabin in a real world kind of way. Clayton (George Clooney) calls himself a "janitor"--he's a under-paid fixer for a law firm that can afford to pay him more. Then there is Karen (Tilda Swinton) who is a lawyer for an evil corporation that kills people with their chemicals and do not want any repercussions for it. Finally there is Arthur (Tom Wilkinson) who has serious mental issues and works for the same firm as Clayton; and he is completely caught in between the two. There is also that Michael is a failed business (bar) owner, who has to sell off debt because he went into a partnership with his drug addicted brother... It only gets worse from there. Unlike Cabin, this one hits very close to home!
