5/5 The Recruit
  by Machelle Gentry (Columbus Ohio)
I have yet to buy a product from Amazon that is bad. I just recently started buying from Amazon and so far the DVD's I have purchased have been awesome. I am totally addicted to this website.

3/5 2.5 stars out of 4
  by One-Line Film Reviews (Easton, MD)
The Bottom Line:

The Recruit is an acceptable way to kill two hours--although almost every minute of the movie feels like it has been done before, the first half is legitimately engaging and it's never offensively bad.

5/5 Good movie
  by D. Cole (Sunny Calif.)
This movie got mixed reviews from wonderful to horrible. I watched this movie on TV tonight and loved every minute of it. No there weren't car chases and gun battles and lots of tasteless sex,instead it seemed more real than fiction. Most of what happened on the movie could actually happen in real life and that's what made it interesting to me. It held my attention for the duration and now I plan to purchase it as I need to watch it again to catch parts I didn't understand. I'm no Pacino expert which is what most of the 1 star givers seem to be and I don't watch a ton of movies - perhaps that's why I enjoyed it - because I haven't seen every scenario created for movies out there. This movie is exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat and left me wanting more.

5/5 Colin Farrell~BUY IT!
  by Cornelius G. Kelly (Albuquerque)
Colin Farrel & Al Pacino could make any script work. They are magnificent in this cat & mouse game. BE HAPPY~~BUY IT!
If you want a cat & mouse game movie with a LOT of laughs, good location, and good-looking, hilarious Colin Farrell get In Bruges. Gaureented to stir all your emotions.In Bruges

5/5 Great plot twists
  by Ralph Porter (central NY)
Not many movies hold my attention for the full run time, while I did eventually guess the ending it was a well constructed plot.

The Recruit Summary James Clayton Is Fired Up. A Bartender By Night And Computer Hacker In The Few Hours Of Daylight For Which He Manages To Leave His Water Bed, The Kid Is Flying High, On A Roll With A Laid-back Lifestyle That Suits Him Just Fine. Played By An Agile Colin Farrell, Clayton Is Also A Heartthrob With His Five O'clock Shadow And Chiseled Pecks. A Cushy Job Offer From Dell Computers Peaks His Interest In Securing A Professional Career, And At The Same Moment He Meets Walter Burke (al Pacino), A Recruiter From The Cia. Though Clayton's Better Judgement Tells Him To Stay Away From The Shady Burke, He Is Curious To Learn Whatever He Can About His Father, Who Was Also A Cia Agent, Killed In The Line Of Duty. Clayton Is Sent To An Intensive Cia Training Camp Called "the Farm," Where He Quickly Learns The Gravity Of His Decision As He Undergoes Gruelling Tests Of Physical, Mental, And Psychological Strength. His Romantic Interest In The Gorgeous, Tough-as-nails Layla (bridget Moynahan), A Fellow Trainee, Becomes A Weakness As The Pressure Of The Tests Steadily Increases. Finally, Without Warning, Clayton Is Thrown Into Action As He And Burke Go Head-to-head In A Mission That Is More Dangerous Than Either Of Them Realize. With Top-notch Performances From A Sly Pacino And A Pumped-up Farrell, The Recruit's Best Moments Come From The Intensity Resonating Between Its Characters. In Addition, The Settings And Training Activities At "the Farm" Give Intriguing Insights Into Cia Recruitment And Initiation.

"Nothing is as it seems" in The Recruit, a guessing-game thriller that employs plot twists and conflicting loyalties as its primary raison d'être. Surrounded by potential deception, a newly recruited CIA officer (Colin Farrell) must determine if his manipulative instructor (Al Pacino) is being honest when he identifies Farrell's fellow recruit and love interest (Bridget Moynihan) as an enemy "mole" assigned to steal a dangerous computer virus from CIA headquarters. While claiming to offer an insider's look at CIA training methods, this engrossing yet ultimately predictable plot is pure Hollywood fantasy; any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental, leaving the perpetually unshaven and scruffily coiffed Farrell to fend for himself in Pacino's cynical arena while tracing his familial roots in the spy game. Wearing its cleverness on its sleeve, The Recruit is an adequately elaborate puzzle of perceptions. "Everything is a test," as Farrell soon realizes, and attentive viewers will enjoy piecing it all together. --Jeff Shannon
