Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best man U.S. Intelligence has on the ground, in places where human life is worth no more than the information it can get you. In operations that take him around the globe from the Middle East to Washington, Ferris's next breath often depends on the voice at the other end of a secure phone line CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe).

Waging war from a laptop in the suburbs, Hoffman is on the trail of an emerging terrorist leader who has orchestrated a campaign of bombings while eluding the most sophisticated intelligence network in the world. To lure the terrorist out into the open, Ferris will have to penetrate his murky world, but the closer he gets to the target, the more he discovers that trust is both a dangerous commodity and the only one that will get him out alive.

The impression I got from this movie, is that US is really an old man now, just like the impression from this global recession.
Russell’s role as the lead agent is quite annoying. Leonardo shows the Oscar rays. Mark Strong is definite a showstealer.

Not as excellent as American Gangster, Ridley Scott’s Body Of Lies is still a well-crafted action-thriller with remarkable performances especially by DiCaprio. The film takes some time to develop, but it is never a dull experience. 3.5/5

Body of Lies’ failure might be explained with the current economy condition. People don’t want to watch anything political. But Body of Lies is actually an average-at-best thriller that has the action, blood and thrill. Too long, yes, but satisfying.
