The Good Shepherd / USA / 2006

They’re calling this the Godfather of spy movies, largely, I think, because it’s very long and takes place in darkened rooms. There the similarities end- if De Niro had half the 70’s Coppola’s skill and discretion as a director he might have been able to bring a hint of intrigue or intelligence to this long winded personal portrait of a man losing his soul by degrees- as it is it’s a reasonably entertaining character piece, largely bereft of insight but handsomely mounted.
