George Clooney has outdone himself with SUBURBICON, a superb satire of middle American suburbia in 1959.

Best scene of many good ones cleverly linked is the unwelcome visit of scumbag insurance claim adjuster Oscar Isaac (the Armenian bero of The Promise) "sniffing out" improprieties in the claim on deceased sister who was actually murdered before the film began. Sparkling dialogue between isaac and Moore and gathering subtle tension make this the most memorable single scene in the entire picture...
