Al Pacino is quoted in this movie as saying "Nothing is what it seems" and that is true throughout this film.

I think an action thriller should keep you guessing about what is true, what isn't true, and who are the good/bad guys. The Recruit does all of these things, and turns in some great performances by Pacino, Colin Farrell, and Bridget Moynahan.

After a large gap in anything new to watch in theaters, The Recruit comes as a welcome relief. Grab a bag of popcorn and your favorite beverage on the way in, because you won't want to leave after the movie starts!

A good movie with a lot of action. The end is a little long and drawn out, otherwise a good flick.

The first two acts were almost a "See Now!" The third act was such a stinker that it brought the rating down to a "Wait".

The number of plot twists in this movie feels just about right. Al Pacino is starting to show his age a bit, but still is worth the price of admission. Colin Farrell is very good as a driven man trying to find his father\'s past.

If your unsure about seeing this movie wait until it starts showing at one of the budget or value cinema\'s. You won\'t waste your money.

Great action, thinking movie. Colin Farrell is such an awesome actor, and of course how can you go wrong with Al Pacino.
