I have not planned to watch this movie. Too 'drama' for me.
After our Taiwan trip there were not a lot of movies and Alan had
bought tickets before he told me. There we went.
Turned out it's like the movie 'The Kingdom'. Middle East
wars. Russell Crowe is too fat. Alan slept a few times
(haha) and I thought it's not bad.
Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a covert CIA operative working
in Jordan searching for terrorists who have been bombing civilian
targets. Ferris uncovers information on the Islamist mastermind
Al-Saleem (Alon Aboutboul). He devises a plan to infiltrate Al-Saleem's
terrorist network with the help of his boss back in Langley, Ed
Hoffman (Russell Crowe). Ferris enlists the help of the Chief of
Jordanian Intelligence, Hani Salaam (Mark Strong) on this
operation, but he doesn't know how far he can trust him without
putting his life in danger. The uneasy alliance leads to a
cultural and moral clash between the men.
