'Body of Lies'
Staring: Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe
Directed by: Ridley Scott (American Ganster, Gladiatior, etc.)
This is an edge of your seat thriller, to be cliche about it. Say what you want about the man, but trust me, Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the greatest actors of our generation. He has trancended from virtually dozens of vastly different roles throughout his career. Working with Russell Crowe this time, neither dissapointed.
Its an action packed story about DiCaprio as an undercover CIA spy working in the middle east. With the help of Russell Crowe back in US he heads up some top secret missions and aides the prime minister of Jordan in capturing the number one terrosist in the middle east. Stress levels escelate to extreme levels as DiCaprio tries to work both sides until it all crumbles around him, putting both him and his new female friend at risk.
i will say this, you know the terrorist tapes you see of people who have been held hostage? All intense and dark where they torture the victim? Well DiCaprio at one point is put infront of the camera in that exact situation. Intesity and drama combined with superp direction makes this film close to a must see.
Rating: 4 Stars.
