The Recruit (2003) 7/10

Starring : Al Pacino, Colin Farrell, Bridget Moynahan, Gabriel Macht
Director : Roger Donaldson
Running Time : 110 mins

CIA trainee James Clayton (Farrell) is bumped from his training programme, only to discover this was so that he could go undercover as an operative, but when he finds out his assignment is to follow Layla Moore, a fellow agent who is believed to be a spy, he starts to think that something isn’t right with the whole situation.

This was actually quite an entertaining movie, though you’d have to be pretty naïve to fall for Al Pacino’s ploy. The plot flows well, and the movies seems to be over before you know it, but that also means that the ending feels too abrupt, and it would have been nice to have one more scene just to round the movie off.
