Body of Lies

Plot:
Roger Ferris is a CIA operative in the Middle East; Ed Hoffman is his control at Langley. Cynicism is everywhere. In Amman, Roger works with Hani Salaam, Jordan's head of security, whose only dictum is "Don't lie to me." The Americans are in pursuit of a cleric who leads a group placing bombs all over Europe. When Hani rebukes Ed's demand that Jordan allow the Americans to use one of Jordan's double agents, Roger and Ed hatch a plan to bring the cleric to them. The plan is complicated by its being a secret from Hani and by Roger's attraction to a local nurse. Satellites and cell phones, bodies and lies: modern warfare

Review:
One of those CIA spy movies with big names -- DiCaprio and Crowe -- and a decent story. That's about it. Nothing too interesting or exciting. The movie dives into modern day terrorism with Dirka Dirka Jihad and other typical extremist Muslim views but we've seen this done before in better movies -- Traitor. The movie keeps you entertained just enough to make you watch it to the end then leaves you.

The only standout is actor Mark Strong. Many of you are saying 'who the hell is Mark Strong?'. Well get used to his name cause this guy will be a big name in major flicks in the future. Check him out in RockNRolla and tell me I'm wrong.

Rating: 3/5
