The Good Shepherd

Wednesday evening, Linda and I got together for a movie. The movie we saw was about several aspects of an assumed fictional character involved in the building of the Central Intelligence Agency. The movie opens with a grainy video of unspecified origin or context and returns from time to time to show us that mystery unravel. In the mean time, we get to learn about the influences that built Ed Wilson and how he would carry those forward into the CIA. The story includes the effects his career has on his personal and family life as well as the sometimes violent, always intense and questioning profession. The cast is highly recognizable and the stories are fantastic. An excellent movie in my opinion but certainly not for everyone. There are scenes of graphic violence and it is a complicated story so be prepared to focus.
