The Good Shephard 
Main Actor(s)/Actresses: Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, and Alec Baldwin
Memorable Supporting Cast: Tammy Blanchard, Billy Crudup, and Robert De Niro
Plot: Edward Wilson is a member of the CIA and was deeply involved in planning the Bay of Pigs Invasion. When the invasion is a failure, Edward Wilson deduces that the Cubans have been tipped off. There is a flashback to 1939 when Edward was a student at Yale University and was recruited into the Skull and Bones Society and asked to become involved in clandestine activities for the United State Military. But, it all comes back to who was the leak of the Bay of Pigs.
Extra thoughts: The Good Sheppard is a complex film covering Edward Wilson one of the CIA's founding members. You don't want to be distracted when you watch this film. If you miss a line of dialogue you miss a lot and you'll be lost. I appreciate this movie because it makes you think. You should see it if you want mental exercise.
