Too much mumbling

De Niro's The Good Shepherd suffers from many things. It is too long, too bleak. Sure, one of its themes is noncommunication, but that could have been enunciated more clearly. All the "Ang" part of Brangelina gets to do is sulk, after some initial moldering. And, finally, it is unjust towards the fine men of Skull and Bones, who have done so much for all of us. I guess.
