Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe star in terrorist action film ‘Body of Lies’ as CIA agents trailing an Al-Qaeda leader in the Middle East.
Ferris (DiCaprio) is the ground-agent in Jordan tracking the terrorists with his boss, Hoffman (Crowe), supposedly watching his back via satellite but, Ferris starts to wonder if Hoffman has his own agenda as things don’t quite go the way he is expecting.
Ferris seeks out the help of Jordanian intelligence officer Hani (Mark Strong), a man not to be messed with, to trap the dangerous Al-Qaeda leader but, Hoffman just doesn’t seem to want to stick to Hani’s rules which jeopardizes the whole operation and puts the relationship between the three men under great strain.
DiCaprio and Crowe give strong performances throughout, they work great on-screen together in their rocky relationship and they carry the film forward well.
Body of Lies, based on the novel by Washington Post journalist David Ignatius, is an interesting film with plenty of action throughout, although the plot is quite complicated it is easy enough to follow. However, it does seem just a little bit too long and gives the impression that if a few more scenes had been edited out then it would have created a far more exciting movie.
