Critics Consensus: Though ambitious and confidently directed by Robert De Niro, The Good Shepherd is ultimately a tedious drama that holds few surprises and succumbs to self-seriousness.

Reviews

Paste Magazine

Mitchell Beaupre

The more that Edward loses any semblance of humanity—which Damon expertly captures in the stillest, most internalized performance of his career—the more he becomes a representation of America itself.

Methodical in its style and intelligent in its execution.

Like the very best slow-burn spy games of John le Carre.

This is one of those rare films that makes emotional as well as intellectual demands on its audience.

Robert DeNiro hasn't gotten behind the camera much -- this is only his second directing credit -- but he displays an experienced eye willing to let his actors work.
