Or incompletely developed. But there's still something deeply absorbing about Michael Clayton, which stems largely from the way it allows its characters their quirks. You believe Arthur's temporary insanity, which is a matter of decent instincts overriding his professionalism. You believe that Pollack's apparent toughness is something of a shell.
