Body of Lies

If you’ve seen the commercials for this movie you would think the main characters in this movie are fighting against each other. I’m not sure why the studio decided to market it it that way. Regardless, the movie has little to do with what you think it has to do with. It’s about a CIA operative working in the Middle East. He (played by Dicaprio) and his boss (played by Crowe) are trying to find the mastermind behind a series of bombings occurring in Europe. The audience learns of the complex espionage networks that the CIA works/competes with in order to find the answers they need. It’s hard to say how accurate their portrayal of Arab life/culture/politics is so I can’t comment on that.

    Apparently Ridley Scott enjoys working with Russell Crowe; and he likes to make movies that raise international awareness (i’m thinking Blackhawk Down and Kingdom of Heaven)… that’s a good thing i’d say
