Recruit, The

Recruit, The

2003

Of all the CIA operatives-in-training, James Clayton (Colin Farrell) is the one young star agency veteran Walter Burke (Al Pacino) most wants to recruit. But James is far from grateful for the opportunity, even though he's the sharpest in his class. Before James can officially become an officer, however, he must prove he's worthy at the Farm, the CIA's secret training grounds, where he learns to watch his back and trust no one but himself.

Trust. Betrayal. Deception. In the C.I.A. nothing is what it seems.
