The more that Edward loses any semblance of humanity—which Damon expertly captures in the stillest, most internalized performance of his career—the more he becomes a representation of America itself.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Sep 22, 2022

Methodical in its style and intelligent in its execution.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 13, 2021

Like the very best slow-burn spy games of John le Carre.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 21, 2020

This is one of those rare films that makes emotional as well as intellectual demands on its audience.

| May 20, 2020

Robert DeNiro hasn't gotten behind the camera much -- this is only his second directing credit -- but he displays an experienced eye willing to let his actors work.

| Original Score: B | Nov 21, 2019

Deliberately paced, but mesmerizingly so, creating a shadowy world where paranoia and deception are treated as the norm.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 6, 2019

As a punishingly ambiguous and astonishingly thorough tragedy, "The Good Shepherd" shows that emotions as human as any errors can undermine intelligence and questions whether God and country alone can be enough for a man's soul.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 24, 2010

Stylistically engaging, narratively murky, historically worthless.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 23, 2009

You will probably come away from it impressed but unmoved.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 28, 2008

A isappointing hybrid that's too bloated, diffuse and tedious to work as a regular length movie -- yet has not enough emotional range or narrative focus to be considered a great epic drama.

| Jan 15, 2008

Damn near drowns itself with its unwaveringly solemn sense of importance

| Original Score: C- | Oct 25, 2007

Seems thoroughly conflicted about whether it actually buys what it's selling.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 27, 2007

publici "Dobri pastir" ne govori ni%u0161ta %u0161to ona, na ovaj ili onaj na%u010Din, ve%u0107 nije znala

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 22, 2007

A pesar de su extensa duración, la película no parece tener un minuto de sobra. El relato es apasionante, y está servido por un actor-director que ha aprendido mucho de sus maestros.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 27, 2007

In a mystery worthy of the CIA, The Good Shepherd ends up being both too long and too short.

Full Review | Mar 24, 2007

Not quite unlocking the secret history of the CIA.

| Mar 21, 2007

The Good Shepherd tells a compelling, complex, personal and political story and tells it extremely well. It's an engrossing film.

| Mar 20, 2007

Apropriadamente mergulhado em sombras e belíssimas imagens em contraluz, é o segundo trabalho de De Niro como diretor, que revela, aqui, um olhar inspirado para composições e, como já era de se esperar, um talento inegável para a condução do elenco.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 16, 2007

Better than any of the feature film versions of John le Carre's novels and nearly as good as the 온라인카지노추천 mini-series based on Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People.

| Feb 26, 2007

It's a film for fans of John Le Carre, rather than Ian Fleming.
