The Good Shepherd

The Good Shepherd starts of slowly introducing a lot of characters, which at the beginning might have you a bit confused. It's well constructed, starting of immediately with a case of investigation to which Edward Wilson (Matt Damon) feels closely related to and which establishes the object over which the group of members of CIA scratch their heads over in order to figure out this little mystery. The Good Shepherd is a thriller mixed with elements of a detective, a mix that works very well, which closely follows the life of Wilson from his early years on in college showing how he got recruited and ended up being a spy. Angelina Jolie plays his wife and Tammy Blanchard the woman he truly loved, 'causing also tension in his love life. With a duration of approximately 167 minutes, The Good Shepherd suggests a very long sit, but expect to be engaged in the story completely, constantly trying to figure things out and connect characters and how they relate to each other with the final being very satisfying.
