Take Michael Clayton, I thought it was a pretty great film. But even though Clooney is in about 95% of it, I thought the film was also as much about the characters of Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson and Sydney Pollack as it was about Clooney's. But it's George Clooney, and you could almost sense that the story ends up focusing more on him because, dammit, we just want it to. I think he's sort of the new Harrison Ford.
