The Good Shepherd

Have just seen a excellent fiction film on the birth of the CIA. A very good film but as with everything one or two negatives. As VIEWS has read some of the history of the CIA it was quite easy to figure out who was who and the events that film was trying to depict. But that is the point, VIEWS has some information as to judge the film. The DVD could have done with a documentary of the real and fiction and what events did happen and what events might have happened. Also would have like to seen that USSR and the KGB also did some of the things that the CIA had to do, not a one way street in undercover action.


As with the above review it is still an excellent film with a strong cast and a script that makes you think but more important a very good director, Robert De Niro. I think Mr De Niro has added directing to his film talents, look forward to his next film as a directer.
