Body of Lies
"Body of Lies" is based on "Washington Post" columnist David Ignatius' 2007 novel about a CIA operative, Roger Ferris, who uncovers a lead on a major terrorist leader suspected to be operating out of Jordan. When Ferris devises a plan to infiltrate his network, he must first win the backing of cunning CIA veteran Ed Hoffman and the collegial, but perhaps suspect, head of Jordanian intelligence. Although ostensibly his allies, Ferris questions how far he can really trust these men without putting his entire operation--and his life--on the line.

Perfection
Non-stop drama as events unfold. Say what you want, but please don't label this as more US propaganda material. It is unbiased and open in its approach, and is quite revealing in portraying both sides of the story in telling what resources (and deceipt) go into tracking terrorist cells and what very likely happens politically behind closed doors. Leonardo DiCaprio finally came of age in Blood Diamond, and here he just gets better, and more convincing. Job well done!

really? how much?
when you put Ridely Scott, DiCaprio, Crowe and about $80Million then you expect a better film than this.
It was good, it was funny in places and it had some great action sequences but come on, show me something we havent seen before.
It was bourne meets spy game, we've seen it all before (the only thing we havent seen before is Russell Crowe lookin so bloody fat) -
