My Review

If you want to watch three great actors talk in circles for two hours, Body of Lies is your movie. It’s a gorgeous-looking film that somehow manages to be completely incomprehensible and forgettable at the same time. The performances are solid, but the story is such a tangled mess of spy-craft that it’s impossible to track or care about. It’s a "no" from me - beautiful cinematography can’t save a story that doesn't stick

Recommend it - No

Dead Poets Society

1989

The CIA’s hunt is on for the mastermind of a wave of terrorist attacks. Roger Ferris is the agency’s man on the ground, moving from place to place, scrambling to stay ahead of ever-shifting events. An eye in the sky – a satellite link – watches Ferris. At the other end of that real-time link is the CIA’s Ed Hoffman, strategizing events from thousands of miles away. And as Ferris nears the target, he discovers trust can be just as dangerous as it is necessary for survival.
