Reasonably well-planned plot, but not tight enough to be a memorable one.
Great cinematography, and impressive acting by the versatile DeCaprio. The CIA's satellite technology is fantastic, but makes me wonder why then some real-life terrorists are still at large… on another note, albeit DeCaprio's love interest is not sufficiently developed, it is in essence, the heart of the matter of an otherwise matter-of-fact narrative of the ruthless reality of the business of espionage, i.e., a business of varying degrees of creating and promulgating lies and more lies in order to uncover the truth. But even the pursuit of such truth for the greater good is overcome at times (and rightly so) by the even greater need to forgo it for the sake of love– the one and only thing that survives us all, time and time again.
