Interesting but it's very long.

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2009)

I think this movie deserves 6.5 stars. The biggest problem of this movie is that it last too much(167 minutes), I think 120 minutes would have been much better.
The performances are very good, specially Matt Damon who in this opportunity plays a CIA man which is totally opposite to the one of his Bourne's films. the movie is entertaining at the beginning but as long as this is running one doesn't care much about the movie because it's very long and it's told in a slow pace, but the last 20 something minutes are very entertaining again.
This movie is about Edward Wilson, who is one of the founders of the CIA, where we can see his life since his last year at Yale university passing his relationships with 2 women and his son, his participation in WW2, his relations with Russian agents until his investigation to discover the leak about the Bay of Pigs Invasion.............
If you liked the film JFK (1991)maybe you will probably like this movie too.
