Its my favorite Clooney performance, but one wonders if Cruise could've been just as riveting.

I can't see him in the role. He can be a very good actor when he wants to be (Collateral comes to mind), but I don't think that character was "flashy" enough for him to have fully committed to it.

Yes, I could see him pulling off that role.

Clayton's a type of character whose his own worst mortal enemy and is sort of toeing the line between being agreeable and objectiveness, Cruise might have made him into a much more hardened, broken down Mitch Mcdeere.
