Long and drawn out

Rating: 5/10 (6 April 2007)

I have enjoyed most all of the movies Matt Damon has made and with the supporting cast I looked forward to seeing THE GOOD SHEPHARD. I rented the DVD this week and I was disappointed with the story and it seemed to go on and on. The story kept switching from one time period to another and was totally confusing. While the acting was very good, it seemed that the stars listed for this movie made you want to see it, they like Robert Di Niro and Anjelene Jolie basically had bit parts in the overlong movie. Matt Damon who was vertualy in every scene of the movie did a fine job of acting but Di Niro and Jolie were there for their star power. My recommendation is neither here nor there, so use your own decisive powers on this one. To me I thought the story was a waste of good talent and a poor story line.
