Review of The Good Shepherd (2006) by Amanda H — 30 Dec 2010

This is horrifyingly long, very political, and quite slow moving. If any combination of those three things doesn't interest you, then you should definitely not try to sit through this movie. It's exceptionally well-acted, which coming from me is saying a lot since I can't stand Matt Damon.

It's just not something that's likely to be widely popular, because of the subject matter and the lengthy running time. Definitely save this one for a time when you're in a particularly mellow mood and don't mind actually having to think about what you're watching.

But if you do that, you'll likely enjoy this for what it is. I did.
