So a little like Full Metal Jacket you are presented with two acts. Act One, training, Act Two Mission/Quest/Task. Like Full Metal Jacket, one act is better than the other.
Coincidentally like FMJ its the training part of the movie that is the most enjoyable in The Recruit. The training part is compelling viewing, it completely draws you in.
The mission part is entertaining enough but can't complete to the set up.
Both Farrell and Pacino deliver the quality you would expect, especially Farrell who is riding high at this point.
Its a bit of a forgotten film that a larger contemporary audience would appreciate :)
