Bridget Moynahan Movie:

Editorial Review:
"Nothing is as it seems" in The Recruit, a guessing-game thriller that employs plot twists and conflicting loyalties as its primary raison d'être. Surrounded by potential deception, a newly recruited CIA officer (Colin Farrell) must determine if his manipulative instructor (Al Pacino) is being honest when he identifies Farrell's fellow recruit and love interest (Bridget Moynihan) as an enemy "mole" assigned to steal a dangerous computer virus from CIA headquarters. While claiming to offer an insider's look at CIA training methods, this engrossing yet ultimately predictable plot is pure Hollywood fantasy; any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental, leaving the perpetually unshaven and scruffily coiffed Farrell to fend for himself in Pacino's cynical arena while tracing his familial roots in the spy game. Wearing its cleverness on its sleeve, The Recruit is an adequately elaborate puzzle of perceptions. "Everything is a test," as Farrell soon realizes, and attentive viewers will enjoy piecing it all together. --Jeff Shannon

The Recruit [Region 2] Reviews:
Colin Farrell~BUY IT!
2008-07-27 - Colin Farrel & Al Pacino could make any script work. They are magnificent in this cat & mouse game. BE HAPPY~~BUY IT!
If you want a cat & mouse game movie with a LOT of laughs, good location, and good-looking, hilarious Colin Farrell get In Bruges. Gaureented to stir all your emotions.In Bruges

Great plot twists
2008-06-19 - Not many movies hold my attention for the full run time, while I did eventually guess the ending it was a well constructed plot.

Doesn't Make Sense
2008-04-20 - If Al Pacino's character already has Bridget Moynahan stealing the program for him why does he have to have Colin Farrell steal it from her. It doesn't make sense unless they left out a scene where that would suggest that Colin Farrell would have to piece it all back together before it could be used by Al Pacino.

Don't waste your money on this one
2008-04-05 - I agree with the one star reviews, by and large. See it on TV if you must - it's a forgettable film. A silly thriller.

Colin carry this movie
2008-02-16 - I'm sorry to say, but Al's performance is forgettable in this, Colin carries the movie.
