Line 16:
** Arthur is an example of this who starts off the movie with a [[Heel Face Turn]].
** And the main arc of the movie {{spoiler|is Michael doing the same turn}}.
* [[The Atoner]]: Arthur▼
* [[Blackmail]]:
* [[Career Killers]]
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Basically the point of the film. Kenner, Bach, & Ledeen profit off of protecting Punch Clock Villains like the insidious U-North corporation, to the point that Arthur's guilt finally gets the better of him. Karen Crowder is put in the position of protecting U-North and resorts to assassination. The assassins themselves are respectable business-types who take jobs while teeing off at the country club. Everyone is simply doing their job. In case we miss it, the opening scenes have Michael clocking in with his ID badge on the way to work.
* [[Shout-Out]]: I ''hope'' Clayton's kid's parents didn't actually let him watch ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' before getting him an Eva...
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Karen must arduously construct her aura of confidence. Scenes cut back and forth between the poised professional she seems to be on the job and the nervous wreck she is behind the scenes.▼
▲* [[The Atoner]]: Arthur
* [[The Spock]]: Michael Clayton
▲* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Karen must arduously construct her aura of confidence. Scenes cut back and forth between the poised professional she seems to be on the job and the nervous wreck she is behind the scenes.
* [[To Be Lawful or Good]]: Arthur, then Michael.
* [[Trouble Entendre]]: In a very vague discussion between Karen and one of her spies, it gets so confusing for the spy that he outright asks if she wants him to go kill Michael Clayton or not; the whole scene is incredibly chilling.
