“For some reason or another, this movie wasnu0026#39;t really accepted by the majority of the audience and I wonder why that is. Iu0026#39;m not saying it is a masterpiece, but this is still a movie with Al Pacino and Colin Farrell. Both actors and especially Al Pacino are normally good for some decent fun and some good acting and it wasnu0026#39;t any different in this movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie tells us the story of James Clayton (Colin Farrell), a young computer graduate who is recruited by Walter Burke (Al Pacino) to work for the CIA. Despite Claytonu0026#39;s unconventional attitude, Burke sees in him one of the best agents the CIA can wish for. Thatu0026#39;s why heu0026#39;ll guide Clayton through the difficult training courses and helps him to quickly rise through the ranks. Once the training period is over Clayton gets a special assignment, heu0026#39;ll have to detect a mole that has infiltrated in the CIA. But will his training be enough and was Burke right about the fact that this may well be the best agent ever?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie is perhaps not the most original thriller ever, but it delivers everything that it is asked for. Itu0026#39;s a good movie, full of suspense and decent acting. And for those who are interested: it also gives an insight on how the trainees are recruited, how they are prepared to be a spy and what they learn to survive. I donu0026#39;t know anything about it, but I guess it all looked pretty accurate. Anyway, I enjoyed watching this movie and I give it a 7.5/10.”
