Pros: Great eye candy! Not too much blood. Cons: Ya gotta wonder - doesn't Al get tired of mediocre parts?
Preamble
I'd liked to make an apology, right here and now. Although I first saw Colin Farrell in Minority Report, at the time, he just didn't appeal to me.
No need to fear. He definitely appeals to me now!...
Pros: Colin Farrell and Pacino Cons: Bridget Moynahan
Okay, it’s pretty well established that Al Pacino is a good actor and that Colin Farrell is well – hot. But having one good actor and a hot actor does not a good movie make. You need more than that – you need action, drama,...
Pros: despite my title I liked it Cons: featherlight
Roger Donaldson’s The Recruit is a voluptuous Venus Flytrap of an espionage caper, complete with a monochromatic and appealing exterior of deceptive attractiveness, harboring more shards of twists than is perhaps warranted, wanted or...
Movie disappointments come in many flavors. As such, The Recruit is the olive pimento loaf of action/adventure. The film's trailer, which hides about as much as Madonna's famous fifty-dollar sextography, does manage to keep one mystery alive until...
Pros: Suspenseful, action-packed, good acting by Pacino and Farrell Cons: You must pay attention in order to understand the plot and its twists
THE PLOT
Colin Farrell plays James Clayton, a good looking, bartending, computer whiz at MIT. James has just created some amazing software and is expecting to start a career with Dell.
Pros: First half of movie Cons: Bad ending, average writing
"The Recruit" starring Al Pacino and Colin Farrell was recently released and joins the list of one of the new films of 2003. Films released in the first 3 months of the year are usually known to not be very good. They are released by the studios...
Pros: Good acting, enjoyable, solid pace Cons: it's predictable; the only con you need to worry about
“Nothing is what it seems,” says Al Pacino’s character so many times in “The Recruit,” that we actually believe everything is what it seems. Either that, or Roger Towne actually thought he was fooling someone when he wrote the...
Pros: Opening scenes at The Farm offer rare glimpses into a hidden world. Cons: terrible screenplay, directing. Pacino on autopilot.
The Recruit bogs down about 1/3 of the way through, roughly from the point Colin Farrell breaks down and yells out a name during a torture scene. I won't give the name or what's happening away, even though I should spoil it so maybe if you remain...
Pros: Great sets, solid cast Cons: Muddled script, badly paced, no surprises, telegraphed ending
Over twenty five hundred years ago, Sun Tzu, author of the seminal work The Art of War, wrote that “Spies are a most important element in war…” Every wise ruler since then, whether monarch, despot or elected has hearkened to these words....
Pros: Fast-paced, with two good lead actors Cons: Overly predictable, convoluted plot.
I wasn’t sure how to start this review, and so I went and read a few others to see what language was being used to describe it elsewhere, and was a little surprised to find that the movie had been met in the critical press by a mixture of loathing...
Pros: Some good ideas and an interesting premise. Cons: Ending had some issues and some loose threads
The secret world of espionage has become increasingly more prevalent in recent times, as national security is forced to depend further and further upon intelligence gathered by field operatives. Many people know the various agencies are there,...
