During his search, Ferris is continually under the watchful eye of his ambitious CIA boss Ed Hoffman ( Russell Crowe, whose role in the film would mark the fourth of five collaborations with the director). The espionage thriller was directed by Ridley Scott and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Roger Ferris, a CIA operative working in the Middle East who is determined to locate the leader of a terrorist organization responsible for a series of bombings in Europe. Set in the Middle East, it follows the attempts of the CIA and the GID of Jordan to catch 'al-Saleem', a terrorist. The movie is all about this CIA agent Roger Ferris, played by Dicaprio, working for Hoffman played by Russel Crowe. Body of Lies is a 2008 American spy thriller film directed and produced by Ridley Scott, written by William Monahan, and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe in the lead roles. There are the requisite torture/chase/torture scenes that are so de rigueur in today’s terrorist-laden suspense movies, as well as a half-assed attempt to tie Hoffman’s intransigence to American foreign policy as a whole, but there’s no sense of urgency. The movie stars some good actors with the likes of Leonardo Di Caprio, Mark Strong, Russel Crowe and many more. Yet in spite of the movie’s high-tech veneer and its top-billed stars, Body of Lies is depressingly inert. Body of Lies is the 2008 feature film adaptation of the novel of the same name written by David Ignatius, an American journalist and author. The movie body of lies was released in 2008 and is directed by Ridley Scott.
