The Recriut is Colin Farrel as he joins the CIA, as Al Pacino takes him under his wing, for a so called Mole hunt. The film is great entertainment and as some great twists and turns along the way to keep you guessing who to trust. Both stars are on top form, in this classy but forgotten great paranoid thriller.
It's not the greatest film of all time, but If you like the cool tension of the Jack Ryan movies, then this film will not disappoint.
Very entertaining!

Oh my, so many twists and turns! As it says on the front of the box, nothing is what it seems in this movie. We all figured joining the CIA wouldn't be a piece of cake, but what this recruit has to go through in his attempt to join up redefines the word difficult. But at the same time, this film remains realistic, which is nice.

Yes it has Al Pacino in it, and as usual, his acting does not disappoint. Colin Farrell's character is tested to the limit, and you have to wonder why he doesn't run away from his potential employers screaming, "Leave me alone, I've had enough!"
Obviously the guy has nerves of steel.

It's not in my top ten, but it is nonetheless a very entertaining thriller, which will keep you guessing to the very end.
