Body of Lies
Genre: Adaptation, Spy, Thriller
Release Date: October 10
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe
Scoop: Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best man U.S. Intelligence has on the ground. In operations that take him around the globe, Ferris’ next breath often depends on the voice at the other end of a secure phone line--CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe). Strategizing from a laptop in the suburbs, Hoffman is on the trail of an emerging terrorist leader. Ferris will have to penetrate his murky world, but he discovers that trust is a dangerous commodity.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: They wear it well. The teaming up of two actors who know how to hold presence, onscreen--we're ready to follow whatever cat-and-mouse/'find the terrorist' game they get entangled in.
Snapshot Prediction: 4 out of 5 stars
