Body of lies

"Body of lies"
Watched English movie "Body of lies".

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Russel Crow, Mark Strong in main roles and is directed by Ridley Scott.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a CIA agent. While stationed in Iraq, he gets information about a high value target in Amman, Jordan. He approaches GID Jordanian secret service. There is a lack of trust between two intelligence agencies and Leonardo wants to rectify that and catch the dreaded terrorist Al-Saleem (Alon Abutbul).

The movie has good action scenes. Leonardo and Russell Crow are proven actors. But Mark Strong in his role as head of GID, steals the show.

Story appears promising and Leonardo is supposed to be in control of operation but for interference of Russel. Audience think that somehow between the two they will deliver. The terrorist is captured, but the one pulling the strings is someone else. So who is running the show? Director has also introduced a love interest for Leonardo to make the climax happen. It appears that director is not fully in control. 

Not a must watch!
