The Good Shepard

Wow! This film is a true example of a work filled with great performances trapped in a weak film. I did not need the soap opera of Edward and Clover's marriage and the subplot involving the son. I wish both had been removed from the story and we had been given more of the birth of the CIA. More politics and intrigue and less crying please. Loved all the performances but especially Robert DeNiro who looked physically transformed.
Favorite moment: Michael Gambon's assassination
