Colin Farrell, Al Pacino and Bridget Moynihan star in "The Recruit," a 2003 film directed by Roger Donaldson. Farrell plays a young man recruited by the CIA in the person of Pacino; while training at Langley, he gets close to another trainee (Moynihan). Once out of training, he's told she's an infiltrate from another country and assigned to following her.
As is often said in the film, nothing is as it seems, and both Farrell and the audience are bamboozled more than once. The film has many twists and turns, all of which add up to a very absorbing movie. A weary-looking Pacino is excellent as always, and Farrell is effective.
This one keeps the surprises coming, so pay attention.
