Robert De Niro’s second time out as director hasn’t had the most warm reviews of his career but I really enjoyed the film. A great cast (Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Wiliam Hurt, Robert De Niro, John Turturro, Joe Pesci) and a great script by Eric Roth (Munich, Forrest Gump… okay, forget I mentioned that bit) and a fascinating subject matter (the rise of the CIA) are just a few things this film has going for it.

On this podcast I talk about the film and also reveal a little of the backstory (Allen Dulles, the Bay of Pigs, etc) behind the film, which is actually only a fictional account of the CIA.

I give the film 4 out of 5.
