Body Of Lies (2008) 6/10

Starring : Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Mark Strong
Director : Ridley Scott
Running Time : 129 mins

Roger Ferris (DiCaprio) is a CIA agent operating out of Jordan where he uncovers what he believes to be the location of a terrorist leader, a man who is believed to be responsible for several bomb attacks on civilians. So, with the help of his boss Ed Hoffman (Crowe), Ferris plans to infiltrate the terrorist cell and find the people responsible for the bombings.

I found this movie a little too slow for my liking, and more than a little over-long. The story line isn’t particularly original, but it delivers itself in an unusual way, focusing on the character of the agents involved rather than letting the action take over.
