The Good Shepherd (2006) – 2/5
Very underwhelming performances by all. The movie drags as I don’t think De Niro succeeds in using the pace as others have in the past.
Damon’s character is suppose to be cold as stone, but he comes across as lame and boring.
It’s always disappointing to see a bad spy movie b/c I love the potential they have there.
One thing I’ll say, he doesn’t insult the audience. You have to be thinking for certain parts, but it’s not worth it to wait for them.
SPOILERS
Also, the “mystery film” character is fairly predictable once you get into it. Such a pivotal aspect and it’s a let down.
Haiku Summary
Kid gets recruited
by CIA. Life planned for
him. Quiet, boring.
