Product Description

 
James Clayton is fired up. A bartender by night and computer hacker in the few hours of daylight for which he manages to leave his water bed, the kid is flying high, on a roll with a laid-back lifestyle that suits him just fine. Played by an agile Colin Farrell, Clayton is also a heartthrob with his five o'clock shadow and chiseled pecks. A cushy job offer from Dell computers peaks his interest in securing a professional career, and at the same moment he meets Walter Burke (Al Pacino), a recruiter from the CIA. Though Clayton's better judgement tells him to stay away from the shady Burke, he is curious to learn whatever he can about his father, who was also a CIA agent, killed in the line of duty. Clayton is sent to an intensive CIA training camp called "The Farm," where he quickly learns the gravity of his decision as he undergoes gruelling tests of physical, mental, and psychological strength. His romantic interest in the gorgeous, tough-as-nails Layla (Bridget Moynahan), a fellow trainee, becomes a we...

Inside the Puzzle Palace: The Recruit

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: The Recruit is a spy film that squanders its potential due to a poorly thought-out screenplay.
Review: "You want answers… I only have secrets." Walter Burke

Directed by Roger Donaldson (No Way Out, Thirteen Days), The Recruit (2003) is a pretentious, smug suspense/thriller/spy film that purports to give the "real" low-down on the...

The Anti-Diesel.

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2003
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is that nothing is as it seems.
Review: So it came to pass that while looking for a movie to watch with a friend on Friday night, that I happened across The Recruit, an Al Pacino/Colin Farrell flick that I had been vaguely aware of during its theatrical run, yet had somehow managed to...

The Recruit Is Nothing Special

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: Joins a list where intensity overshadows the story to the point that we not only care how it ends, we don?t care how we got to that point.
Review: With more concise writing and closer detail to prevent overtly foreshadowing the ending of the movie in abundance – The Recruit could have been far better. Everything else is in place, a Hollywood legend – Al Pacino, a new star – Colin Farrell, and...

Al Pacino and Colin Farrell take you deeper into the CIA than you've ever been before in this action-packed psychological thriller. James Clayton (Farrell), one of the smartest graduates in the country, is just the person Walter Burke (Pacino) wants in the Agency. James quickly rises through the ranks and falls for Layla (Moynahan), one of his fellow recruits. But just when James starts to question his role and his cat-and-mouse relationship with his mentor, Burke taps him to root out a mole. As the suspense builds in a maze of gripping twists and turns, there are only two things James can count on -- he can't trust anyone and nothing is as it seems. It's the ultimate CIA thriller with so many surprise plot twists, you'll want to watch it again and again.
