SMART,
This review is from: The Good Shepherd (Widescreen) (DVD)
This movie is smart, interesting, and at times thrilling. All actor give good performances and Robert DeNiro is and ecxelent director. This should have gotten a best picture nomination the the Oscars.

Matt Damon Carries the Film,
By
This review is from: The Good Shepherd (Widescreen) (DVD)
Some reviewers have commented that most of the characters were methodical and boring but in the world of spies I believe that these are the characters that survive.Matt Damon carries this movie and he is in almost every scene.He is cold and calculating and a perfectionist but not a cruel man.His hobby is building ships in a bottle .His methodical and observant personality saves him from being compromised by the Russians who value him greatly. De niro has succeded in making a low key movie very interesting but he fails at organizing the scenes in a logical order .The film jumps forward and backwards in time I had to watch the movie twice before I fully understood what was happening. Despite its flaws and its confusing moments it is a long but never dull film.

butchered truth,
By
This review is from: The Good Shepherd (Widescreen) (DVD)
How truthful is this film... no one will ever know.How can anyone know anything about a company (CIA) that (supposedly) deals with lies... again, no one will ever know. Important issues are presented here: imperialism, espionage, loyalty, betrayal... This film was certainly worth watching, for Matt Damon's performance (as Edward Wilson) especially. He and *he alone* carries the film on his shoulders. A surprise: De Niro shows a better talent as a director than an actor. Angelina Jolie, as Wilson's wife, overacts way too much and her character is not credible because not well developed. Tammy Blanchard (who plays Laura) definitely has more talent than Jolie. The melodramatic dialogue didn't help the movie, however well directed it may have been. Recommendation to watch _The Good Shepherd_: Pay attention to the dates, as it is rather easy to get lost in the second act, where Russian spies and the Bay of Pigs invasion are mentioned. Better editing and script-writing would have made the film shorter (close to 3 hours!), as many of those details were not needed to understand what was going on. Certainly worth watching, but be prepared to endure three hours of film.
