The good shepherd

Well, I can't really decide if it was "good" or not. I saw this film on new years day and it clocked in at around 10 hours or so. Man did this film feel long. The pace was so calculated, which I understand. However, it took sooooo long to pay off the thing they set up right in the beginning that by hour 9, I just didn't care. Ultimately, I really wanted to like this film. It was lit by Bob Richardson, Damon was awesome, Birth of CIA intriguing concept. It just need to be cut tighter, or it needed an hour cut off. If that were the case, it would have been fantastic for me. I would also like to note that Michael Gambon was the best thing about this movie.
