The Recruit

A slightly underweight effort that was nonetheless entertaining. The problem with "these kinds of movies" is you know that there's going to be one of three "surprise endings" and there are no real clues to point you to which one -- it's totally arbitrary, which makes the movie as a whole less satisfying. I wish they had done more Spy School stuff, and the movie gets a little too Pacino in the end, but it was packaged nicely with just enough intrigue to keep you involved.
