Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2007)

This is a spy movie in the old school way. Yes it is slow but that's the whole point. It's the behind the scenes of the CIA so the whole point is that it's not meant to be action packed and gun tooting. The performances all round are brilliant. Matt Damon once again proves that himself and Ed Norton are the best actors working in America at the moment. It is interesting to think that Damon is currently giving Bond a run for his money in the new Bourne film, as one of the best and most believable 'action' spies on film. And then a year earlier he was playing an equally believable spy of a different kind in The Good Shepherd. I thought this was a great, un-rushed and intelligent film from De Niro, which also offered us a little history, which may of scared American audiences. If you have a brain you will enjoy it. Cheers
