The New Recruit

Chloe Morris12 said:Al Pacino, Colin Farrell. Anyone seen this? It’s a solid flick, and Colin is great 👍 But I didn't get the end of movie at all, so can someone please explain... who's the double agent and who isn't? Who's actually the good guy and who's the villain? What was everyone trying to steal? 😕

Man, you're just asking for spoilers!!!😲 And to make matters worse, I read the intro and YOU JUST SPOILED THE WHOLE MOVIE!!!😠 I have this on DVD at home and I WAS PLANNING ON WATCHING IT TODAY!!!😠 😠 😠
Fine, now just to be petty, I'm not explaining the ending to you when I watch it.🙂

Look, I could give you a play-by-play of the plot right now. Your questions feel like the blurb on the back of a DVD case. Guess what? I never read those!!

Full disclaimer though: I should’ve thrown in a smiley so you wouldn't think I'm being dead serious. I'm not, but I still don't think I'm going to watch this movie.

P.S. Colin Farrell is the man. Have you seen Minority Report?👍

Al Pacino is playing a double agent here

I actually own this movie🙂

"Fresh Blood" — is that supposed to be the translation?

Honestly, "Lizard" would have worked way better.😉

"Lizard" would have sounded way better. 😉

... just like how they translated "The Rookie" starring Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen...

That movie is honestly top-tier... I haven't sat down to watch it in forever...😉

Is Pacino a double agent? For who? What? Seriously? Just hit me up in a DM and explain so you don't ruin the movie for everyone else.😛

😠 😠 😁 😁

See!?

Whatever, it doesn't matter. I saw it a few months ago anyway.😉 😁

Chloe Morris12 said:Oh, so you actually watched it? Don't give me that crap then—just explain it. 🙂

Look, if a movie is good, you have to watch it twice.🙂

Just kidding. I didn't catch everything either because I was half-watching the screen and half-playing Mafia. Sorry, I can't help you out.

Chloe Morris12 said:Mafia? You mean the one with the cards and all those shady deals happening in the city 24/7? Jooooooj, I love that game. 👍

hahaha... you really know how to crack me up.👍

Yeah, that's the game. Honestly, the best thing I've played since Fallout 2...

Chloe Morris12 said:That's definitely not the game.😢 Why did you put that angry face at the start of your post?

Is it some kind of computer glitch? Just screenshot it and send it over.😁

I have no clue about the emoji. I didn't put it there on purpose.

But alright, once you take that away, you'll probably realize it IS that game. You know, the one where you drive around town doing dirty work for the mob? If you don't have it, I can send it to you.

Haha, if I start spoiling the plot, it won't be any fun anymore😁

The end of movie was so naive, it felt like some pre-war kid's story.
Pacino plays the double agent, but it's like he thought they caught him when they actually hadn't, so he just confesses and blows his own cover—all just to bail out Farrell, who supposedly bluffed about having the video running...!!! Such an unbelievable, cheesy plot twist. For me, this movie was a total letdown.
Honestly, what a disappointment.
It's a shame because I love Pacino.
As for Farrell, I don't really care either way.
B-T-W, lately it feels like Pacino is filming way too much. Here he's just going through the motions, just like in that film with Robin Williams where he played a detective heading to Allascu to hunt a killer and accidentally kills his partner...
It's like he filmed both roles in a single month. 😎

you gotta watch this movie
Collin - mmmmmmmmmljac 😁
