THE GOOD SHEPHERD

With Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Robert De Niro, Alec Baldwin, Tammy Blanchard, Billy Crudup, Keir Dullea, William Hurt, Timothy Hutton, John Turturro

Directed by Robert De Niro

Slow paced but intriguing De Niro film dealing with the people and events leading up to the creation of the CIA (Central Intelligent Agency). Damon plays one of these key characters whose discipline, loyalty and blunted emotional state is perfect for an organization out to protect American interests at all cost, but detrimental to the relationship with his family. Insightful, engaging and shocking.
