The notoriously secretive CIA opened their closed doors and gave "The Recruit" filmmakers an insider's view into the Agency. That inside look helped the filmmakers give their CIA thriller an authentic look and feel.

While at "The Recruit's" World Premiere, actress Bridget Moynahan spoke about the Agency, and working with her co-stars, Academy Award-winner Al Pacino and the increasingly popular Irish actor, Colin Farrell.

BRIDGET MOYNAHAN ('Layla')

How difficult was it preparing for this role? The producers say the movie is supposed to be very close to the real CIA.
It is. But you know what? I hope they are getting more training than we got, but we were probably on a tighter schedule (laughing).

Did it surprise you the CIA was willing to help with the film?
Yes, but I think they have a very good handle on PR at the CIA so they are feeding us what the want us to hear. They are doing a lot that they don't want us to know about.

What's it like working with Colin Farrell?
He seems to be the hot new thing. He's fantastic. He's just got this incredible energy that is so rare in people, in general, and it's infectious working with him.

The director said he could see Colin Farrell being Al Pacino when he grows up.
Oh yeah? Then he's got a very nice career ahead of him.

Do you agree with the director's statement?
He's one of the single most talented actors I've worked with. He's got a very long career ahead of him.

And working with Al Pacino?
He's very methodical but he's also very free. He's Al Pacino. I'm just lucky to be in the same movie with him. I felt very fortunate to work with him. He's just a wonderful, free actor and he gave me a lot of allowances to be that way myself.

You and Colin Farrell have a romantic storyline going on in the movie. How did you handle the onscreen kiss?
It was great. We had a great time with the shoot. It went nice and smoothly. We were pals at that point and we just did it.

You seem to be a lot taller than Colin. How much taller are you?
Not much, I just have high heels on (laughing).
