The Good Shepherd - DVD review

This was another DVD that I borrowed from my dad.  It tells the story of an intelligence officer working for the American goverment during the second world war.  The officer is recruited as a student at Harvard in the late 1930s and the story continues until the mid-1960s.

The cast is good and the film is well made.  The main character played by Matt Damon is difficult to read.  Damon has a real poker face in the film which is probably appropriate for a counter-intelligence boss.  A lot of cold decisions are made during the film and it's all a bit morally murky.

It's a decent film.
