Recruit, The
USA 2003, 115 minutes
Dir. Roger Donaldson
Rating: [M]
Genres: Suspense/Crime / Spy
Feat. Al Pacino, Colin Farrell
Aroview: CIA-trainer Al Pacino puts computer hacker Colin Farrell through the hoops to prepare him for the world of intelligence gathering and secret agents.
Potentially intriguing subject provides a certain amount of interest as a cat-and-mouse relationship develops between student and teacher in the world of Langley, Virginia, but escalating thriller mechanics in the second half weigh proceedings down. Proficient, perfectly rote exercise from kiwi dir. Donaldson.
