Perfection
By DirtyHarry (104 reviews) from HARROGATE , 17 Oct 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
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!- Was this review helpful to you?

(392)trust or not to trust
By a customer , 21 May 2013i was intense the whole time watching this film. i'm not sure if this kind of story really happens in real life but i believe the 'trust issue' is always there, we sometimes think that a person is the most we can trust but sadly in the end it's not the reality.- Was this review helpful to you?

GREAT STUFF
By MADONMOVIES (62 reviews) , 15 Aug 2012Great movie !
Everything you want from a thriller.
Good story !
Great acting !
Though there is just two down falls,to this great thriller. It was just a little bit to long and a little bit drawn out in places.
But don't let this put you off watching a great thriller, which will have you on the edge of your seat from the very start to the very finish and thats no lie !!- Was this review helpful to you?

Classic Ridley Scott thriller
By Chrisaljack (321 reviews) from Hellingly , 02 Aug 2012Twists and turns, cross and counter-cross: just who do you believe is 'on your side'? More than that, both Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio play their parts to perfection. The love interest is completely different to normal Hollywood style and is played to Muslim rules. This is one of Ridley Scott's best with perfect timing - the action and the tension being beautifully balanced. If possible, this was even more enjoyable the second time I watched it (with a gap of about five years).- Was this review helpful to you?

Wonderful and worth it
By 663322 (37 reviews) , 01 Aug 2012Leonardo finds himself between a hard place in deep water. There is not an iceberg in sight. Takes some keeping up with the story line but Leonardo has seriously grown up.- Was this review helpful to you?

Great Acting ,Weak Plot
By Kusanagiguy (101 reviews) from London , 29 Jul 2012The film is technically brilliant in production and acting but as with most Scott outputs it falters on story.
Straight up I'm not a fan of Ridley Scott post Gladiator and feel his films are cold and shallow plot wise.
The reason I still watch his movies is because at the very least they are well made and have some top notch acting talent. Body of Lies is no different.
DiCaprio and Crowe give it their all but I personally feel they are wasted on this at times cliche material. While the setting is shifted to modern conflicts it's a rehash of what has come before (and handled much better in Syriana).
The underdeveloped relationship between Dicaprio and the nurse is eye rolling bad and had me wondering why they just didn't hold up,a cue card telling us that not all peoples of a different country/religion are terrorists/bad people.
If your a Ridley Scott Affectionate I'm not really going to dissuade you on watching this which all in all is an average flick with above par acting- Was this review helpful to you?
