I've watched this movie over and over again for these days. It's worth of watching. I don't know if it is used as a teaching material for diplomats,but it's so genius that everyone gets to know how secret agents operate their tasks. And how dangerous they are!
The screenplay is great. Though one would doubt why would a pro agent (Ferris,starring Leonardo DiCaprio) fall in love with a local girl and get caught by people using her as the bait.
And,in the late of the movie,agent Ferris is taken into a car by several other cars producing a sandstorm to cover and make the satellite surveillance completely useless. How come Ferris doesn't carry a GPS gadget to identify himself ?
All in all,this is a good story told by a good director and acted by good actors. Director Ridley Scott,the director of the epic Gladiator,has talents to deliver a great amount of information to audience piece by piece. And Russel Crowe,one of Ridley Scott's favorite actors,plays his role vividly and hatefully as a CIA Near East division head.
While I enjoy this movie,I also wonder what if some other people,unlike diplomats,have watched and studied it? Maybe terrorists,maybe would-be terrorists?
But with so many talents in Tinseltown,people might not worry about this. Screenplay writers would come up with greater plots to outdo this one.
