In an era when the country’s first line of defense, human intelligence, is more important than ever, comes a thriller that gives an insider’s view into the CIA’s secret training ground: The Farm. James Clayton (Colin Farrell) 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 (Al Pacino) wnats 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 Farm, where the veteran Burke teaches him the ropes and the rules of the game. James quickly rises through the ranks and falls for Layla (Bridget Moynahan), one of his fellow recruits. But just when James starts to question his role and decides to “wash out,” 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 at The Farm, the CIA’s old maxims are true: “trust no one” and “nothing is as it seems.”
I just recently saw this movie and I would recommend people go see this if its their type of movie. It wont be out to the public for another week or so with a release date of jan 31st to theaters you'll just have to watch the preview.
The plot and acting were well done but it was the two plot twists that I thought made the movie. It had a few explosions and if your into the whole CIA/SPY stuff you'll enjoy this.
Go see it!
