Read Berardinelli, Please

Do you want to know whether or not this film is for you? Go to "External Reviews" and read James B's review which acutely points out that this is not a film for the little kiddies that would prefer lots of violence and explosions. It is a "thinking man/woman's" film, and the 2 & 3/4 hours fly by if you allow yourself to be absorbed by the all-important question: Was the OSS/CIA career path worth the life devoted to one's country. This is for the viewer to determine as DeNiro smartly decides to put aside his own more liberal politics, to allow the tale to flow. But I believe that "The Truth Shall Set You Free" eulogy needs to be well explored to understand this nation's politics.
