vinyarb- you just have to read it

Leonardo Dicaprio is Ferris, a CIA field agent working in Iraq to track down senior terrorist Al Salim. Russell Crowe is his boss with a tummy, watching in comfort from his office using high-end surveillance technology.

He is later sent to Jordan based on intel that Al Salim is there. In Jordan, Ferris teams up with the head of Jordanian Intelligence Hani Salaam. However, all efforts to locate Al Salim bore no fruit. A scheme was then devised to lure him out by faking a new terrorist cell more brazen than he was, in the hopes that Salim will want to reach out to this new terror cell for future terrorist collaboration.

Subsequently, a jordanian architect was framed to look like the head of the new terror cell, and a “terrorist attack” staged with wide coverage on the news. True enough, Al Salim emerged from hiding to congratulate the new cell on their success, and tries to make contact.

As can be expected of a Ridley Scott film, there is action aplenty, and although the two leads share little screen time together, they each plays their own parts well. Dicaprio’s angst ridden field agent is almost a carbon copy of his role in The Departed, while Crowe plays it cool as the man with the plan boss.

Although at times convoluted, it is well paced and the action scenes are raw and powerful.
