Sorry, this movie sucks
Doomtomylo
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Hadrina
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Neive Bellamy
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Nice topic and interesting point of view, casting was amazing, which is the reason that I selected this movie, but I found the movie a bit boring. I think th pace was slow and not that much of suspense. I think director could have done better (sorry Robert).
I recommend to watch this movie with low expectations a night that you get bored and have nothing better to do. Put it back in your list but do not exclude it at all. Only because of the topic and the casting worths a try.

Just a quick observation (correction) on the synopsis for The Good Shepherd. In the past I could have posted this in our discussion forum that was taken away from us by the management. I still miss it. The author of the synopsis repeatedly used the term "videotape" in describing the recording that Edward Wilson finds in an envelope as opposed to the "audiotape" that was actually delivered. "Videotapes" in a home consumer format did not exist back in 1961. Prerecorded two-inch size videotape had to be played on an industrial sized Ampex VRX-1000 Mark IV four-head video playback system with additional stationary heads for the sound track. There is even a scene of Edward Wilson playing the "audiotape" on a reel-to-reel player. That's my 2 cents.

The tumultuous early history of the Central Intelligence Agency is viewed through the prism of one man's life. My biggest problem with The Good Shepherd is definitely the outrageous 167 minutes and the pacing was so slow and boring plus seeing Matt Damon dressed as a woman and singing gave me nightmares and even tho the cast is fantastic and talented such as Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Alec Baldwin, Billy Crudup, Robert De Niro and William Hurt are all of them fantastic actors but their characters were just very one note and pretty lame and it's a real shame and De Niro himself should probably start making great movies again instead of things like this. (5/10)

There are more than enough comments and reviews about this movie that convinced me it needed its own audience to appreciate it fully. If you're interested in how the intelligence services recruit, train and conduct their business, this is definitely a movie for you.The story follows Matt Damon as a young man throughout college, explaining when and how he became an OSS and later a CIA non-official cover operative. This movie will describe the line between a soldier and a spy. Excellent casting, excellent directing.
