- The Recruit (2003) / Der Einsatz
- Not Bad, but i'm getting used to that spooky spook stuff. I like everything about that spygame - except: torture. But - maybe - i could even get used to that - pain is relative sensory feedback, just cut off the internal reception or recode the feeling and you got: pleasure. Back to the Plot SPOILER: Young Man called Clayton gets recruited into CIA-Trainee-Program at "the Farm", the Recruiter turns out to be a Veteran who sold his soul for 3 Million Dollars and uses Clayton to get the Payload out of "Langley", the CIA-City. Clayton gets fired from the Trainee-Programme on the Order of Pacino, Clayton goes home and starts drinking, after a few days Pacino visits him and tells him that he has only officialy been fired, but in reality is a NOC-Agent now. Pacino plays Clayton well, but in the End Clayton finds out - he rips the Data from the Girl but keeps her alive, she tells him her version of the story, he keeps his mobile on and goes for Pacino, meanwhile the Girl tells the other CIA-Guys that Pacino is Double-Agent-Playing (not 100% percent sure about that) so they all come for the Showdown where Pacino gets shot and Clayton lives to get re-enlisted as an agent - like his father.
- Clear and Present Danger (1994) (Harrison Ford)
