Body of Lies

"Body of Lies(R)-A struggling CIA agent in the Middle East finds that bonds with locals are worth more than satellites. 8/10 broken fingers."

At first I thought this movie was pitting a CIA agent (DiCaprio) with his geographically distant, uncaring handler (Crowe), but about halfway through, they started working together. The contrast between the two showed how unattached decision makers take what they have, use it, and discard; while those in the thick of it see how valuable relationships and patience are. It also shows how some people get fat.

MPAA Rating: Rated R for strong violence including some torture, and for language throughout.
