Body of Lies Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Perfection

Non-stop drama as events unfold. Say what you want, but please don't label this as more US propaganda material. It is unbiased and open in its approach, and is quite revealing in portraying both sides of the story in telling what resources (and deceipt) go into tracking terrorist cells and what very likely happens politically behind closed doors. Leonardo DiCaprio finally came of age in Blood Diamond, and here he just gets better, and more convincing. Job well done!

Hmm....

I was soooo looking forward to this movie. Ridley Scott, say no more. However, for all it's hi tech polish, together with it's energy and pace... you're ultimately left with the feeling of 'what's the point of the film?'. I wish I could say that it's probably so deep and complex that maybe I just didn't get it... sadly, that just ain't the case. The strongest performance and the one true beacon of talent in the whole movie, belongs to Mark Strong. Effortless quality. And you know he means it when he says... 'whatever you do in my country, don't ever lie to me'.
