Synopsis
The Good Shepherd (2006) is Robert De Niro's spy drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. It traces how a quiet Yale graduate helped build American intelligence, and how the job slowly taught him to trust no one.
Edward Wilson is reserved, dutiful and impossible to read. Recruited into the OSS during the war, he becomes one of the founding officers of the CIA. His trade is deception: recruitments, double agents, and the Bay of Pigs failure that opens the film and haunts the rest of it. Matt Damon plays a man who trades his private life away piece by piece, while Angelina Jolie plays the wife left living beside a stranger. Robert De Niro, Alec Baldwin, William Hurt and Joe Pesci fill out the ranks.
De Niro spent nearly a decade on the project and directed an almost three-hour study of secrecy and its cost: behind every state secret here sits a wrecked household. Cold, patient, stripped of any wasted gesture. Stream The Good Shepherd (2006) online on iFILM.
