When Ferris devises a plan to infiltrate his network, he must first win the backing of cunning CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe) and the collegial, but perhaps suspect, head of Jordanian intelligence. Although ostensibly his allies, Ferris questions how far he can really trust these men without putting his entire operation - and his life - on the line.

Opens this Friday. Should be good.

Solid movie. Nothing spectacular about it, but it was well-acted and well-made. The realism was pretty good as well. And Leonardo DiCaprio can act, I tell you.

 

[Shane]

And Leonardo DiCaprio can act, I tell you.

Is there anyone that claims he cant? Only need to see The Departed and Blood Diamond to know that. As well as several other movies.

chap, do you find it as odd as I do that a movie starring Leo, Crowe, written by an Academy Award Winning screenwriter and directed by Ridley Scott has been just seemingly dumped in the middle of October with absolutely no fanfare and very little press?

I hadn't even heard of this movie until a couple weeks ago.

Ive been seeing ads for it for more than a few weeks easy. There are billboards advertising it all over the place and the TV ads have been pretty strong too. But your right the month is definitely kind of wierd.

Wow. I first heard about it back in March obviously since I created this thread on March 21st, 2008. You are right though - not a ton of marketing and the month is odd...

Yeah, I was thinking of that too. But there really was nothing very new in the movie. My guess is that Warner Bros. thought that too. Again, it was solid, but not award-worthy. IMO of course.

 

[Shane]

This movie was VERY good. Highly entertaining, great acting, good story!

 

[sundevilscott]
