Review of The Recruit (2003) by Peter Rainer for New York Magazine (Vulture) — 13 Jan 2016
Donaldson and his battery of screenwriters aim for nothing more than a coolly efficient thrill machine, but the mechanics break down in the end, foiled by a "whodunit" twist that's telegraphed early in the first reel.
Careening forward without any real purpose, the film simply flies off the rails.
