Review of The Recruit (2003) by Curt F — 27 Feb 2009
I was distracted by Bridget Moynahan in this movie and all I could think of is she is the mother of Tom Brady's baby. Who knows how close to the truth this movie is, I found it interesting that you really feel like you are watching secret CIA training grounds in Virginia and by watching the credits at the end the whole thing was filmed in Canada!
As for the movie, it was solid enough for me, Farrell is good, Pacino pretty much over the top but an interesting role for him. The final plot twist was a little out there for me but I checked my expectations at the door after plot twist number three or four.
I guess I can recommend this, but just barely.
