the worst movie ever made! i dont dont know if shaggy dog is worse? dont even rent this when it comes out, ahh tohma!
With all the major actors i thought this film would be really worth watching, but it turns out it was really slow, really boring, and really not worth my money at all. This isn`t a movie i would recommend at all.
Three hours flew by. This is a movie for people who read books. People who don`t mind spending time letting a story grow and develop. The acting was flawless, the story interesting, there was lots to talk about when it was over. Isn`t it wonderful that occasionally Hollywood remembers that there are viewers who still like plot.
I really enjoyed this film. I agree...not alot of action but I don`t go to the movies to see action films with crappy actors. I would like to see it again just to figure out a few things that have puzzled me. I think Matt Damon did a great job portraying someone in a state of constant paranoia.
Disappointing. Not a BAD movie, per say. Just slow and not at all what the trailer suggests.
A good film editor would get rid of an hour of unnecessary movie. Too much build up of Damon`s character.
Great movie for fans of Tom Clancy or Richard Ludlum - gives a touch of reality to the spy/thriller genre of movie.
SLOOOOOOOWWWWW... Did I mention it was Slow? Don`t waste money on this snoozer. Spend your money on something else and save 2 hrs and 40 mins of your life!!! 1/5
Unfortunately average film. It was slow paced as was life at the time. The acting was good but trying to follow the timeline was near impossible. The actors didn`t age over a 20 year period. As for Oscars.. the only one who deserves an Oscar is the Russian who was tortured.
This is the kind of movie that the academy will like and probably will garner some academy noms. For those who commented this being a boring film stick to idiotic and insulting movies like Borat to keep you entertained. The Good Shepherd is for high-brow moving buffs who have the intelligence to enjoy such a movie.
