Good Shepherd Gone Bad

Danielle Barrera, NBC5 Street Team (video)

As soon as I saw the preview for the movie Good Shepherd, I knew I just had to see it. With an amazing cast, and directed by Robert De Niro, I was ready to bedazzled. This movie had stars such as Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, Joe Peshi, Robert De Niro and Alec Baldwin. It after all was suppose to be one of best CIA films done in history…

UGH! Let me just say that I can appreciate a good long film. However, this movie had NO action. No twist. It jumped back and forth, from place to place, and from year to year. While understanding the bulk of the movie, I did not understand why certain scenes were even in the film. It’s one of those movies that you want to see again, not because it was that great, but because you just want to fully understand it. I figure that Robert De Niro may have wanted to make the movie very realistic, however, when I go to the movies, I like to get away from REAL life and enjoy a film with a little meat on its bones. I give it 3 stars, eh, why not 3 ½. After all it did have Matt Damon and Angelina, who we all know are easy to look at.
