But 'The Good Shepherd' could defy the conventional wisdom. It is the pet project of none other than Robert De Niro, who took about eight years to bring his story of the CIA's founders to the big screen. De Niro has not directed a film since 1993's 'A Bronx Tale,' but he returns to the director's chair for this Cold War thriller and also takes a supporting role.
