Early history of US version of international espionage from OSS through early CIA (Bay of Pigs)

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2006)

Movie is well produced. My original intention was to see "Casino Royale" and found out it was sold out... "Good Shepherd" had some seats available. Had not heard anything bad or good about it... Figured that it would be interesting since I like John LeCarre books and found Norman Mailer's book "Harlot's Ghost" intriguing (no pun intended) so figured I would take a chance... It was a riveting three hours, you had to stay awake to follow plot. Twists and turns kept me thinking... Not the blockbuster or special effects that Casino Royale would have been, but definitely NOT a waste of time! Happy I saw it. Scary at some points due to the fact that it was loosely based on a real person and the historical events brought back some real nightmares of history.
