I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2025 MOVIE CHALLENGE.
WEEK 10: A FILM FROM 2008
 
Review: As Al Qaeda-like terrorists use less and less eavesdropping phones and the internet, the CIA sends spies to the Middle East to gather information using old-fashioned handiwork. Roger Ferris does do at the behest of CIA boss Hoffman in Iraq and Jordan, where he must team us with the head of Jordanian intelligence to roll up a terrorist organization.

This is your typical spy thriller; who is deceiving whom? It is an interesting thriller, full of pace and action. It could have been a little more subtle and the film is a bit too long for me. But overall, I don’t really have strong feelings about this film.

Rating: 3 / 5
