    The Recruit

    We rented this one the other day and really enjoyed it. Given that Pachino's in it I figured it would be a good movie and I wasn't dissapointed. The plots fairly solid and there's a number of twists and turns though out the movie to keep you guessing what's going on. We had Lauren in the room so I couldn't turn the volume up that far but it did seem to have a pretty decent sound mix.

      That's Pacino, not Deniro, Mr. Pratt :LOL:

      I did a mini review of this posted somewhere in this room. It's headed:
      NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS

              I liked this one, too...bought it after Netflixing. Best I've seen Pacino in since Heat, which is one of the best movies ever!

              I give this one :4:

              Cheers,

                  I rented the movie earlier in the week and Andrew nailed it on the head. I thought it was a good movie too. What was good was that there were no lulls in the movie, i.e. good character development and story telling. This movie isn't a sub buster or very heavy on the surrounds. So volume is not a factor.

                      The Recruit - A Review
                      by David Meek
                      The Recruit - A Review February 10, 2003



                      Is it real? Is it training? Is it a mind game? Is it something else? When you are a recruit at "The Farm" trying to become a field agent for the CIA, you never know.

                      THE RECRUIT

                      Stars Al Pacino and Colin Farrell. Colin is a top MIT graduate and Pacino a recruiter for the CIA. The film deals with the training of a CIA agent but as things progress, and as Pacino often reminds us: " Nothing is what it seems." And because of all the verbal warnings,...

                      I love Westerns, even if they fall a little short of my expectations. Such is the case with American Outlaws. I was expecting a serious Western drama, but instead got a lighthearted,sometimes amusing take on the Jesse James legend.

                      There's nothing new in the retelling of the legend, but...

                      ...look at the wild, crazy, dangerous world of big time gambling. Now this is not a subject that interests me. The extent of my gambling is a 2 buck ride on a lottery ticket every Saturday. So even though this film starred an old favorite of mine, Al Pacino, I continually passed over it on the rental...
