Full Plot Details

In an era when the country's first line of defense, intelligence, is more important than ever, this story opens the CIA's infamous closed doors and gives an insider's view into the Agency: how trainees are recruited, how they are prepared for the spy game, and what they learn to survive. James Clayton might not have the attitude of a typical recruit, but he is one of the smartest graduating seniors in the country - and he's just the person that Walter Burke wants in the Agency. James regards the CIA's mission as an intriguing alternative to an ordinary life, but before he becomes an Ops Officer, James has to survive the Agency's secret training ground, where green recruits are molded into seasoned veterans. As Burke teaches him the ropes and the rules of the game, James quickly rises through the ranks and falls for Layla, one of his fellow recruits. But just when James starts to question his role and his cat-and-mouse relationship with his mentor, Burke taps him for a special assignment to root out a mole. As the suspense builds toward a gripping climax, it soon becomes clear that the CIA's old maxims are true: "trust no one" and "nothing is what it seems.

Movie Reviews

Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Kirk HoneycuttThe top-billed Al Pacino and Colin Farrell bring plenty of emotional oomph to their shallow and routine characters, but audiences may find these spy games somewhat disappointing.
Zertinet Movies - 9/10 by Steven SnyderIt is an extended two-hour head game, and it works so well because it keeps the audience in the same position as James Clayton (Colin Farrell), always unsure of what's fact and what's fiction.
Decent Films Guide - 9/10 by Steven D. GreydanusSlick enough to be entertaining to the end, though it's never hard to guess what's really going on, and despite all the twists there are few surprises.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordWe're in serious trouble if The Recruit even approaches accuracy about CIA operations.
www.susangranger.com - 9/10 by Susan GrangerSlick, suspenseful ... aimed at those who relish cloak-and -dagger mind games.
Talking Pictures (U.S.) - 9/10 by Tony Toscano...the film wins for its story, camera work and Farrell's performance.
Movie Mom - 9/10 by Nell MinowIn what used to be the Tom Cruise part (supremely talented but hot-headed kid with father issues), we have the supremely talented and magnetic Irish actor Colin Farrell.
Broomfield Enterprise - 8/10 by Dan Marcucci and Nancy SerougiTime wondering if Saddam watches spy movies like these to try and get some insight into the CIA: 105 minutes.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Director Roger Donaldson is so preoccupied by mood that he forgets about story.
Sun Publications (Chicago, IL) - 8/10 by Josh Larsen...can be as seductive as the lies its spooks tell.
