اس مووی کے بارے میں

Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best man U.S. Intelligence has on the ground, in places where human life is worth no more than the information it can get you. 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 who has orchestrated a campaign of bombings while eluding the most sophisticated intelligence network in the world. To lure the terrorist out into the open, Ferris will have to penetrate his murky world, but the closer Ferris gets to the target, the more he discovers that trust is both a dangerous commodity and the only one that will get him out alive.

درجہ بندی اور جائزے

It's an OK movie. Decently acted. But compared to many other movies on the problems in the middle East this was quite brainless. Nothing profound in it. And the ending was so typically Hollywood with the cliched happy ending.

Ridley Scott phones in another competently made film which does nothing actually wrong except that it's made by an artist and a team that could do so much better.

More relevant than many may realise
