I'm still hoping Pacino will dazzle with a great performance eventually...

Many would believe Pacino could do no wrong but he has. The Recruit serves only to ignite a pilot light in the imagination of espionage lovers everywhere.

A compelling, if throwaway, drama.
October 15, 2004
Pacino's puppet-stringing of his recruit is reminiscent of Peter O'Toole's manipulative character in 1980's 'The Stunt Man.'

Above-average thriller, but not very memorable.
February 08, 2005
The film still makes a diverting entertainment in spite of its obviousness.

The Recruit weighs in like a porous brick of recycled polypropylene.

Watchable only for its star power and scarce caffeine kicks...awfully predictable. [Blu-Ray]
January 31, 2003
It's nothing but style and noise, threadbare of content, empty of ideas.
February 03, 2003
I liked all those set pieces where they set up these elaborate schemes, and you're not sure who the good guy is, and the bad guy.
February 12, 2003
Here I suspected the ultimate villain almost from the very beginning -- and, if I wasn't fooled, I can't imagine anyone else will be, either.

A conjurer's trick that delights for about an hour, then spirals into idiocy.
