The Good Sheperd

Rating: 5.7/10

Genre: Suspense
Overall value for money and time: 5.5/10

Another disappointing movie. This is a draggy, slow moving movie that will really test your endurance. You will not be able to sit through this film during the night. It's close to 3 hours and throughout the movie, you will find yourself slipping into a deeper maze than you were at the start, instead of being able to piece up the missing pieces. For other profound movies that's like a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle, this movie is a 5000 piece. The problem is, even at the end of the movie, you're only at your 2500th piece. Personally, I think this movie has a messy organisation and the takes are all over the place. You normally won't be able to link the previous scene with the present one and somehow, it gets lost in the "mess". Cast like Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie and Robert DeNiro isn't enough to save this movie from being one of the most dry and boring pieces of cinematography I've seen. The movie revolves around a secret agent, somewhat, and how his life is affected by his occupation. I think this movie is based on true events. Still, it's far inferior to movies like "Insider" and "American Gangster", where despite being dialogue dominated movies, they still keep you captivated and leaves a pleasant aftertaste. However, for this movie, it gets wiped clean from your memory once the credits start rolling...
