The Recruit [DVD]

At a time when the intelligence service is vital for the defense of a country, an explosive thriller arrives that opens the doors of the CIA for the first time so that we can see what is going on inside: how agents are recruited, how They train for espionage and how they learn the rules of survival. James Clayton (Colin Farrell) is easily the smartest of the rookies about to graduate - and he's the person Walter Burke (Al Pacino) wants at the agency. But what James doesn't know is that, before becoming an Operations Officer, he will have to undergo a secret training where rookies acquire the necessary knowledge to become seasoned veterans. As Burke shows him the ins and outs and rules of the game, James quickly rises and falls in love with Layla (Bridget Moynaham), one of his teammates. But when James begins to question his role in the Agency and his relationship with his instructor, Burke assigns him a special mission to unmask a mole. As the suspense reaches its peak, we see that the old CIA maxims are pure truth: 'Trust no one' and 'Nothing is what it seems.'
