Genres & Description

Action Drama History Thriller

6.7 / 10

Laconic and self-contained, Edward Wilson heads CIA covert operations during the Bay of Pigs. The agency suspects that Castro was tipped, so Wilson looks for the leak. As he investigates, he recalls, in a series of flashbacks, his father's death, student days at Yale (poetry; Skull and Bones), recruitment into the fledgling OSS, truncated affairs, a shotgun marriage, cutting his teeth on spy craft in London, distance from his son, the emergence of the Cold War, and relationships with agency, British, and Soviet counterparts. We watch his idealism give way to something else: disclosing the nature of that something else is at the heart of the film's narration as he closes in on the leak.

CIA or the CIA, never mind: they are imperialistic criminals http://drjacquescoulardeau.blogspot.fr/ MATT DAMON – ANGELINA JOLIE – ROBERT DE NIRO – THE GOOD SHEPHERD – 2006 NEW REVIEW in 2017 It was a nostalgic film in 2006 when the wars started by George W. Bush in Afghanistan and Iraq were turning stale and sinking in the quagmire of all colonial and imperialistic wars. It was of course a comment on these wars like when Edward Wilson says “We are trying to make wars small.” That is sure right if we can say so without sounding sarcastic, even at the time.

I really like this movie! Great actors, but you have to enjoy subtle intrigue. A lot of this movie leaves you read between lines and figure out what transpires on your own. What happened to the operative that went on a mission in Columbia to sabotage those dealings? Nothing but a coffee can with a finger wearing the agents class ring. Good movie. - @Thursday, June 23, 2016 2:38 AM

I don't like it when likes and dislikes are hidden. What is there to hide? I would appreciate it if you didn't do that, so people are more open to come here and feel like clicking the like button. - @Saturday, March 5, 2016 2:43 AM

The public is fixated on the CIA but there are a number of agencies that few have heard of. These have budgets that are much bigger! - @Thursday, September 24, 2015 2:49 PM

I most entertaining and enjoyable movie. Unfortunately many of the actors speak their lines in a half-voice and one has to strain to hear them. In real life people do not regularly whisper to each other. - @Tuesday, February 17, 2015 1:51 AM
