The Good Shepard

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Slow moving story about the men who created the CIA. Or was it about Skull & Bones? Angelina Jolie, in the usually cliched role of the forgotten wife, was the only standout. The film was far too ambitious in trying to cover a complex story and even more complex characters, so it did it the only way it could, shallowly. Hollywood seems to have lost the skill base for telling this kind of story efficiently and believably in two hours. It appears to me that what probably began as flashbacks became the body of the story/film. The 2-1/2 hours got to be very tedious. The violent scenes seemed to me to be tacked-on afterthoughts, and the ending seemed contrived and didn't fit well.
