What The Godfather was to the Mafia, The Good Shepard is to the C.I.A.

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2006)

This showcases the birth of the C.I.A., and how one man named Edward Wilson(well acted by Matt Damon) makes the ultimate sacrifice for this country he loved, and how he becomes distant from his wife(Anjelina Jolie in a fine performance) and there son. It takes place from the late 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's. Each decade he becomes more and more quiet, and keeps to himself, as he realizes in the world of the C.I.A., you trust no one, every turn can be your enemy, forget the world of James Bond, which is just for fun, this movie is the reality of spy life. Although it is well directed by Robert Deniro, well acted by Matt Damon and Anjjelina Jolie. But this movie for the most part is badly paced, it is long it dragged itself, and you keep wondering where is this story with it self, unlike The Departed. Other then that it was a great movie.
