“Body of Lies”

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Mark Strong

Directed by Ridley Scott

Featuring the hardest working group of individuals in Hollywood (Leo, Crowe, and Scott—whose “American Gangster” is still vastly underappreciated), “Body of Lies” goes a step further than the “Bourne” franchise to deal directly with spying and counter-intelligence in the Middle East.
