This was actually 10 years in the Making, since it was DeNiro “pet project”
The main character is partly based upon the real founder officer of the CIA, James "Jesus" Angelton.
This tells the story of Edward Wilson who was a member of the Skulls and Bones Society a Yale University. Because of his high morals and his honor, was recruited to the newly formed Central Intelligence Agency. There his learned lots of about people, trust and loyalty. His commitment to the Agency, took him away from his family that he barely knew. His dedication to his work does not come without a price though, leading him to sacrifice his ideals and eventually his family.
So I watch this movie, wow I couldn’t believe it was almost 3hrs long. It really goes into a lot of detail. Lots of scenes were going back and forth jumping between the 1960’s the late 1930’s and the 1940’s. Tying all the scenes together.
If you really have 3hrs to spare, give this one a change. Otherwise wait til it come out on DVD.
Im out
