Review of Body of Lies (2008) by Albert K — 14 Sep 2010
Based on a novel by David Ignatius this CIA thriller stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. DiCaprio wants to infiltrate a major terrorist leader who is working from a safe house in Jordan. His efforts are usually undone by Russell Crowe and almost loses the terrorist leader.
He is trying to work with Jordanian Intelligence but with Crowe going behind his back to nail the terrorist he is kicked out of Jordan with Jordanian Intelligence believing he is lying to them and withholding vital info.
He is soon back on the case but nearly loses his life in the process. Gritty thriller with the usual Intelligence and espionage talk.
