I don't think we needed to see Clayton being great at his job -- in fact, I think that's effectively communicated just by casting George Clooney in the role. The man exudes competence, intelligence and charisma -- in fact, I think he might be a very limited actor because he's unable to effectively portray human weakness.

But anyways, my problem isn't that we don't see him doing good, it's that we actively see him doing bad. What the hell's he doing in that first scene? What is he doing through the whole movie? He can't stop Wilkinson, he can't help the hit-and-run guy, he just doesn't look very good at his job.
