Interesting slice of CIA history January 30, 2008
S. Spyrou (London, UK)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
In summary, I enjoyed this film but not one of the best.
In fact, there may be many people who switch off half way through.
The film is a little slow in unravelling the story and definitely not the most action packed, very much a storytelling film.
The story is essentially about how the CIA saw its roots in the OSS during teh second world war and then formed as an official organisation post the second world war to protect US interests in the world.
It revolves around one key character, Matt Damon, who is acted very well although not that hard as he is not a man of many words.
What really struck me was the type of people that populate the CIA. Definitely not your normal every day family person !
Robert De Niro should be proud in adding this to his directorial roster.
If you like a good story (as opposed to an action packed fim) along the lines of Munich et al, then you should enjoy this.
