One such intervention ends up costing Ferris hunks of flesh from his legs paid to potentially rabid wild dogs in an alleyway. Ferris does an excellent job of establishing this new relationship and running the operation, but Hoffman fails to listen to him and keeps intervening in inappropriate ways.

Of course, no action can be taken effectively without the help of the Jordanian secret service under Hani's command. The purpose, as he's been assigned by Hoffman to take over the CIA ops there in Amman, is to seek out intel and eventually eliminate a safe house located in the city. Part 1 of the story involves Ferris getting close to the director of security and intelligence of Jordan, a man he calls Hani (Mark Strong).

The story which is really sort of two movies in one, follows the interactions between Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his superior Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe) as they two uncover various terrorist cells throughout the world-mostly in the Middle East. From the spoiler, you may be able to glean variation between the book and screenplay if any. Once again, yours truly, knows nothing about the book, so this review is unfettered by that relationship and all criticism is therefore leveled entirely at the film adaptation. Director Ridley Scott and screenwriter William Monahan serve up their take on David Ignatius's CIA takes on terrorists tale, Body of Lies.
