Description

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.

    Watched this a while back and thought it was good then I've been holding off of buying it on itunes because Warner brothers seem to think they can charge full price for old films and no offers throughout the store . This is probably one of only a handfull at 7.99 so had to buy it . Great film
  • Slow pace and boring

    The acting in this movie is good, but the plot is uninteresting and it's a slow paced movie.
  • Not for us

    We didn't finish this film. The plot unfolded in a very pedestrian manner. None of liked the gratuitously gruesome way in which the violence was portrayed or the torture scene. No doubt the plot had worthy aims, but they were somewhat lost on us. As far as we were concerned - a complete waste of money. The trailer seemed to have portrayed a completely different film.
  • Surprisingly Good

    A really good, intelligent film. Needs concentration to follow the plot, which is a complement. De Caprio is excellent in the role. I'd give it 5 stars were it not for the predictable need for Hollywood to add a love interest.

    This film deserves a better reception than it got on initial release, its a film that explores sensitive issues while providing stunning visuals and action.

    Don't listen to the negative reviews - the acting was great from all the cast and the plot was very exciting. It is fast paced, intelligent and engaging throughout. I saw this 3 times and rarely see films again.
