I’m really suprised that I ever saw THE BIG KAHUNA. Not that it wasn’t something I’d had a keen interest in seeing since it first came out, but it’s the kind of movie that always
just sort of slips past by me when I pop in to the local video store…

Add an aging Al Pacino who is again playing himself (I hate admitting this, cause Al rocks, but…) and a young, hip Colin Farrell and you’ve got The Recruit, the newest generic spy-thriller from Roger Donaldson, director of other generic films such as Dante’s Peak, Species, and The Getaway…

For some reason, people kind of look at me funny whenever I make mention of the title of this film. I guess it has something to do with the connotation that has come from multiple scandals involving Catholic priests and the younger boys involved in the church.
