Movie No. 108 (2013): BODY OF LIES

Body of Lies (2008)
Director: Ridley Scott
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe

Synopsis (from IMDB): A CIA agent on the ground in Jordan hunts down a powerful terrorist leader while being caught between the unclear intentions of American supervisors and Jordanian Intelligence.

Well, that summary is ridiculously short and simple. In the film, so many things happen, and it's messy. I mean, the script itself is not well polished. It gets confusing sometimes - maybe in the same way that the Leonardo DiCaprio's character is confused sometimes. One thing that makes me cringe in dissatisfaction is the subplot where the DiCaprio character falls for a Muslim nurse. In my opinion, that's completely unnecessary. It actually cheapens the (already) disappointing movie.

Rating: 2.0/4.0
