The Good Shepherd

Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie d/ Robert De Niro

The life and times of James Jesus Angleton, spy, counter-spy, privileged preppie, weirdo and all around creep. This guy was a Bonesman, travelled in the highest circles and represents the worst of us, ruthless, selfish, bloodless, cold...a murderer in a three piece suit.

Played absolutely deadpan by Damon which was off-putting but apparently true to character. Big budget film was expensive looking and overall, a pretty good look at the inner workings of the CIA. It easily held me for 2 1/2 hours.
