The Recruit

Absolutely enthralled with this story of CIA operations and Al Pacino is a GOD as far as acting goes. Colin Farrell is an up and coming star that has done some great work, and I expect to see more out of him in the future. Bridget Moynahan has come a long way and she is also very good in this film. If you like suspense, and want to know more about the inner workings of the CIA, then this film should be in your queue. "All I know about the CIA is that they're a bunch of fat, old white guys who fell asleep when we needed them most."

This movie held my attention and helped me suspend my disbelief for nearly every moment-- something that's rare. Reviewers are saying it's nothing special, but they're VERY cynical compared to normal people like you and me (how would you like to be forced to watch the Wild Thornberrys and then Full Frontal?). Bottom line, it's a fascinating depiction of what spy training might be like, with tons of twists and turns that are only slightly predictable. Spy movie fans will enjoy it, and so will non-spy fans.
