Title: Snore!
Review: Again this is a really bad surprise. This is another example of how you take an exceptional cast and manage to botch up a movie. When I saw the trailer in December 2006 I was looking forward to seeing thi movie about the birth of the CIA. Unfortunately it is way too slow-moving and somehow not that interesting in parts. Matt Damon is good in the role of a future spy-master who is recruited after studying at Yale. He then manages to meet and marry the sister of one of his upper-class friends. How he then manages to become such a grey and rather uninterseting character afterwards is more a problem of the script and probably of the directing. Indeed, while the start is confusing, the rest is worse because it actually manages to get uninteresting. As I write, to have such a splendid cast and to manage to ahve them act well in what could be an interesting movie and make it become such a bore is quite an undertaking. Snore.
