I found this film to be quite a strong political/action thriller. The story/script was a bit weak but Ridley Scotts direction and execution of said script was quite good.
It was obvious that Leonardo carried the entire movie. And his performance as also very strong, along the lines of maybe Blood Diamond, which is another of his films I immensely enjoyed.
Russel Crowe was simply lost in the movie, and has very few scenes which have an impact on the viewer. He could have been played by any second or third tier actor. I could even see Chris Cooper in the role.
The action scenes were intense and spaced out thru out the film. I hate when movies are just one long action scene and would rather watch an intelligent thriller with some character development.
Overall a very good film to watch.
7/10
