"We make sure the wars are small ones."

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2010)

Edward Wilson is chosen to join a new Government agency known as the CIA, to look after all of America's interests by gathering intelligence and implementing it successfully through secret covert operations. But as Wilson delves deeper into this world of lies and secrets he finds himself swollen whole, as he must choose between his family and his country.
Matt Damon is a fantastic actor who portrays the silent Edward brilliantly giving him an almost sinister quality, a person that you can't be too sure about...All the other actors were quite good in their chosen roles, but I found myself focusing mainly on Edwards, his silence is haunting to say the least...I guess when you have as many secrets as Edward, it's best to not say a word unless it is necessary. Angelina Jolie is beautiful as ever, but I found her character to be quite annoying.
More importantly I really did feel heartbroken for Edward when he had to leave Laura behind for Clover, but the scene when Laura and Edward are reunited is beautiful. We, saw a happy Edward; after such a long time. But let's not forget the CIA as it plays the biggest role in the film, making decisions in the shadows, decisions that will affect the lives of millions..It's also a pleasure to see Joe Pesci make an appearance.
Absolutely brilliant, the only reason I give this an 8 out of 10 is because I thought it was a little long, however a film like this require time and patient; after all that is how a masterpiece is made.
