There is only one CIA

Matt Damon is synonymous with special agents on the screen. From the "Bourne" series to "Syriana", this film even plays one of the founders of the CIA, known as "The Good Shepherd". Edward Wilson. Maybe I'm used to watching fictional spy films like "Mission Impossible" and "007". To be honest, I'm a little disappointed with this film. The film is nearly 3 hours long, but there is no thrilling plot. Edward Wilson is taciturn, and coupled with the obscure code words unique to the spy profession, it makes me sleepy. However, this is the real life of spies, doubting everything, not being understood by their families, and dealing with "friends" and enemies. Who can imagine that behind people living and working in peace and contentment, there is such a group of people conducting a seemingly calm but turbulent espionage war. After watching this film, you will feel that "Infernal Affairs" is really nothing. But then again, the entertainment of this film is really bad, but the judges may like it.
Why isn't the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) called the US Intelligence Agency? Because there is only one CIA.

The Good Shepherd quotes

  • Ray Brocco: [Repeatedly to the Second Mironov] What is your name?

  • Ulysses: Hello, I believe you know me as Ulysses. Do you know what our code name is for you... it's "Mother". Yes, they said you were the quiet type. But your silence speaks volumes, what is the saying? "Your silence is deafening," yes that is it. You will be a great advesary Mother, hopefully for many years.
