Very boring and drawn out

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2007)

The film is definitely not portrayed as it is advertised in trailers. The film has no solid plot; rather it is just a series of boring and uninspiring subplots of the main character played by Matt Damon. All the characters are flat and maintain the same mindset from beginning to end. The film attempts to make you think and delve deeper into the protagonist's purpose; however, the film leaves you confused and restless. You wait for the movie to finally start, to reach its climax, or its pivotal scene. However, you will be disappointed. Also, the film's trailers are misleading. They advertise the film as the movie "about how the CIA was started", which sounds like an intriguing and exciting story. Unfortunately, the film actually just traces the life of an intelligent and mysterious operative working within the precursor to the CIA. One positive aspect of the movie is that it is complicated and forces the viewer to think; however, the intrinsic plot does not leave the viewer satisfied.
