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 Central...

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 just...

Is Colin Farrell The Real Deal, And Is This The Film To Judge That By?

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you think Farrell's hot, and the Second Coming, then by all means see it. If not, rent "The Game".
Review: Colin Farrell is a popular man these days: Daredevil, The Recruit, Phone Booth - and that's just to name a few of the reasons he's in the papers.

So, wanting to keep up with things, and not having seen the other two films I mentioned, I...

A definite Recruit for your DVD collection

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: I recommend this movie to anyone who is a Pacino fan, or enjoys a CIA film every once in a while with twists and suspense.
Review: Al Pacino still has it as he delivers another nicely done film of deception and corruption. The Recruit is a fairly good movie that has a plethora of twists, especially at the very end, and suspenseful scenes. The plot isn't that bad either, but,...

Socko's Movie Review of The Recruit

Date of Review:  Aug 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: Carried by strong performances by Farrell and Pacino, this one is definitely worth seeing at least once.
Review: Well, back after two years, and I'm cranking out a second review in as many days. I guess I must have really missed this place. Anyway, due to a Hollywood Video used video sale, I was able to get The Recruit for a whopping $5.00. Since they charge...

On this DVD, nothing is what it seems.

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: When Al Pacino and Colin Farrell can kick butt when a movie like this gets frivolous, you know you're in good hands.
Review: THE RECRUIT is a Touchstone Pictures/Spyglass Entertainment release, running 115 minutes and rated PG-13 because of violence, sexuality and language. It opened in theatres on January 31, 2003.

A Really Quick Non-Review

Date of Review:  May 22, 2009
The Bottom Line: I abbreviate this review because I didn't watch the whole movie.
Review: In "The Recruit," Colin Farrell plays James Clayton, a computer programmer recently graduated from MIT, whose software skills bring him to the attention of the CIA in the person of Walter Burke (Al Pacino). After acquiring one particularly useful...

Recruit-ed

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: The Recruit deserves a half-hearted salute.
Review: The idea of the "high-tech" thriller is an interesting one. In films that fall into this classification, it seems as though the only thing that gets an upgrade is the hardware the characters use, while the routine thriller elements we've all seen in...

This is scary stuff!

Date of Review:  May 23, 2003
The Bottom Line: Watch The Recruit. You never know who is on the right track and who is getting it. Be careful who to believe in- you may be wrong!!!
Review: It scares me to death to see this movie. The CIA's training program is intense and disturbing. If this is really how we train these officers, WOW! Al Pacino plays a CIA trainer who is teaching at the FARM (a CIA Training Facility). Colin Farrell and...
