The story line was good, I guess (if you can follow it). The characters were pretty good too. But the scenes were so disjointed and it was hard to tell what happened when. My head hurt after watching this movie because... Full review

It is a slow paced movie. Extremely slow in parts. You have to be in the mood for a movie like this or you won't enjoy it as much as you should. It's good, though. Great performances, good direction by De... Full review

Not since Ghandi have I felt so trapped in the movie theater. DiNero directs this film and casts himself a bit part to serve his ego apparently, and it's so full of dangling story lines that I found myself saying "who... Full review

He noted that he would like to make two sequels to CIA Cold War drama The Good Shepherd -- one bringing the action forward from 1961 to 1989, the other following its hero, Edward Wilson (Matt Damon), up to the present day. Although he is not working on research for the concluding parts of the hoped-for trilogy, De Niro said being in central Europe offered a good opportunity to begin thinking about the material. ...

To maintain his stoic presence through this long film was remarkable. There was certainly too little screen time for the incredible Angelina Jolie, and she was remarkable every time... Also I was very excited that DeNiro was directing this film. ... Full Review
