Review of The Recruit (2003) by Audrey J — 24 Feb 2010
The Recruit is exactly what you think it is; a briskly paced film with a predictably unpredictable plot, punctuated with the obligatory dosage of sex and violence. Al Pacino does his bit as the sardonic mentor recruiting a talented computer marvel, Colin Farrell to find the mole in the CIA organization. Colin Farrell is a heart-throb and smolders intensely as humanly possible without actually igniting. Bridget Moynahan is a well-matched love-interest/co-star and Pacino is a real scene-stealer turning in a superb performance.
If you like action, guns, CIA and stuff like that, and/or you've seen or read enough spy novel stuff, you may find yourself out guessing the plot but this is a solid fun move.
