A story about a brilliant young man who is approached while working at a night club by Walter Burke (Al Pacino), a CIA recruiter. He is asked to join the elite branch of American intelligence but later discovers how complex and dangerous the job can be. James Clayton (Colin Farrell) who graduated at top of his class at MIT and is pondering his next move while he works as a bartender. Walter Burke (Al Pacino) describes himself as “a scary judge of talent” and believes Clayton is just the sort of man the CIA needs. Clayton accepts the offer as he also suspects his father (whom Burke claims to have known) worked for the Agency. Clayton is then sent CIA’s secret training camp and soon becomes obvious that Burke’s intuition has not failed him. While training in the secret camp, Clayton develops a special interest at one of his fellow students, Layla (Bridget Moynahan), a beautiful woman whose skills equal his own. In spite of the clear attraction Clayton tries to keep in mind Burke’s dictum that “nothing is as it seems,” especially when Clayton is given a special assignment — find the mole within the Agency’s training program who is actually feeding information to America’s enemies.

This is a great movie that catches your attention from beginning to end. It has a great plot and now we will see if the high definition will add even more to this successful movie.
