    Good Shepherd! Good Movie!

    by plano movie reviewer

    Liked the movie, great cast, Matt Damon solid. Angelina, her part could have been played by anybody, she was kind of a throw in. Great history perspective of the early years of the CIA and the Cold War. Was a little long, I just had to reach over and wake my wife up once during the 2:40. Quality film.
