The Good Shepherd (2006)

A disjointed and confusing film.  If the purpose was to confuse so that you’ll buy the DVD, it might work, but I don’t think further viewings will help.  Anyway, Matt Damon is getting old, and his boyish face isn’t taking it too gracefully.  His dour portrayal of a supposed legend of American intelligence, Edward Wilson, seems a bit too understated.  Still you get an idea of a paranoid man with a constant poker face.  Matt hides his furtive smiles as best he can.  The movie goes on for quite awhile.  Angelina is a huge woman.  She even dwarfs the reasonably tall Matt here, but her  more passive role seems to not quite suit her.
