Body of Lies
Starring Leonardo di Caprio and Russel Crowe working for the CIA in their bid to fight terrorists. The movie keeps you on the edge. A lot of characters makes it a little more confusing, so has to stay glued on the screen or you’ll miss some of the plots. Mesmerizing, yet disturbing. Never been a fan of Leonardo since his debut in Titanic and The Beach, but in my eyes, I dare say that he has redeemed himself from the over-rated pretty boy actor in romantic movies with Blood Diamond and Body of Lies. I quite enjoyed the intensity of this movie. Again, I’m not so fond of the emotional romantic entanglement bit of the movie, so I’d deem that part as completely unnecessary.
